Tricare Prime is a health maintenance organization (HMO) style plan available to active duty personnel, retirees from the Active Component, retirees from the Reserve Component age 60 or older, and their eligible family members.
In 1993, the USTFs developed a managed care plan, called the Uniformed Services Family Health Plan, and in 1996, became “TRICARE Designated Providers”—the first DoD-sponsored, full-risk managed health care plan and the first to serve the military 65 and older population (other than on a limited demonstration basis).
In October 2001, TRICARE benefits were extended to retirees and their dependents aged 65 and over. [1] On Oct. 1, 2013, the Defense Health Agency replaced the TRICARE Management Activity. The MHS has a $50+ billion budget and serves approximately 9.5 million beneficiaries. [ 4 ]
