Active-duty members overseas who have urgent medical needs can now use Tricare’s overseas contractor facilities, even if they are near a military treatment facility.
Previously, active-duty members within 40 miles or an hour’s drive of a military treatment facility had to go to that facility for urgent care, defined as medical attention for a condition that does not threaten life or limb but could become more serious if not treated.
