Guest guest Posted December 22, 2004 Report Share Posted December 22, 2004 When on military duty, Reserve Component (RC) members are covered for any injury, illness or disease incurred or aggravated in the line of duty. This includes traveling directly to or from the place where they perform military duty. When ordered to active duty for more than 30 consecutive days, RC members have comprehensive health care coverage under TRICARE. When the RC sponsor is on active duty for more than 30 consecutive days, their family's heath and dental care needs are covered under several TRICARE options: TRICARE Standard, TRICARE Extra, TRICARE Prime, and TRICARE Prime Remote for Active Duty Family Members (TPRADFM). Important Benefits Update: You may also be eligible for the New Temporary TRICARE for Guard and Reserve. Eligibility: Reserve members and National Guard members called to active duty are covered under TRICARE. Family members are covered as well. If you aren't sure whether TRICARE covers a service or supply, contact your Beneficiary Counseling and Assistance Coordinator/Health Benefits Advisor , TRICARE Service Center, Health Care Finder, or your TRICARE contractor. They can advise you about covered services, but they can't guarantee payment by TRICARE. If you're enrolled in TRICARE Prime, be sure to see your PCM for a referral before getting any type of civilian specialized medical care. The applicable Federal laws and 32 CFR Part 199 are the final word on any TRICARE issue. If any difference exists among this handbook, what anybody tells you, and the law and regulation, it's the law and regulation that apply (32 CFR 199 is on the Military Health System/TRICARE web site.
