UnitedHealthcare (UHC) was awarded the Department of Defense contract to provide Managed Care Support Services in the TRICARE West Region as of April 1, 2013. In preparation for this transition, UHC has begun mailing contract amendments to their participating physicians who are part of the current TRICARE network. You are encouraged to review this information closely to be sure that you understand the program requirements and reimbursement as they differ from the existing UnitedHealthcare agreement.

If you take no action you will automatically become a participating physician under the UnitedHealthcare Military & Veterans network for TRICARE. If you do not wish to be part of the network you must advise UHC in writing that you do not wish to accept the addition of the TRICARE amendment to your existing UHC participation agreement within 30 days. UnitedHealthcare has provided this FAQ document for medical providers.

If you have specific questions be sure to call UnitedHealthcare Military & Veterans at 800-718-7572.
