As the fresh smell of pine trees fills the brisk morning air, more than 40 volunteers await the calm rush of active-duty U.S. Service members and dependents as they file in to choose the perfect Christmas tree at Fort Eustis, Virginia, Dec. 4, 2015. Approximately 400 trees were donated through the Christmas Spirit Foundation, which sponsors Trees for Troops, a program which provides free, farm-grown Christmas trees to active-duty Service members and their families. Donated by the customers of Mahoney’s Garden Center, the trees were delivered by FedEx to the installation, featuring handwritten messages wishing Service members a happy holidays. As Service members and families picked their tree, volunteer U.S Soldiers from brigades across the base and the Better Opportunities for Single Soldiers program helped carry and load the Christmas trees into vehicles.

TREES FOR TROOPS FROM PAGE 2 “The event is held as a way to kick off the holiday season,” said U.S. Army Col. William Galbraith, the commander of the 733rd Mission Support Group. “The Trees for Troops program is also a great way of showing a true holiday spirit by donating holiday cheer to our Service members and their families through giving.” For Staff Sgt. Denise Thomas, a personnel and logistics non-commissioned officer of plans and analysis with the U.S. Army Training and Doctrine Command Headquarters, Trees for Troops brings a sense of camaraderie. “This environment is special because I see how everyone is helping each other out,” said Thomas. “It doesn’t matter which branch of service you are in; we are fostering an atmosphere of teamwork. Everyone is so cheerful because it is the holidays and we all just want to help each other.” Within two hours, all 400 trees were on their way to a new home where they can bring holiday joy to families and friends.

2YHUVHDV PHPEHUV HQWLWOHG WR VWDWHVLGH FDUH FALLS CHURCH, Va. (AFNS) -- Overseas military families may face a problem when they return home to the United States for the holidays. Service members and their families enrolled in the TRICARE Overseas Program (TOP) Prime Remote are entitled to visit hospitals and clinics stateside and receive the same priority status as stateside enrollees. However, many of these overseas members are being denied access to care at medical treatment facilities simply because they are not enrolled to the MTF where they are seeking care. The Health Affairs Policy 11-005 provides guidance for the access to care standards for health care beneďŹ ts under the TRICARE program for beneďŹ ciaries. Pri-
ority access to MTFs is based on enrollment status, and Prime/Prime Remote enrollees have priority access for care ahead of non-enrolled beneďŹ ciaries in all MTFs, according to the policy. If TOP Prime/Prime Remote enrollees need care at a stateside MTF, TRICARE reminds those MTFs that this is an opportunity to support military readiness, recapture patients and keep costs low for the Military Health System. Generally, beneďŹ ciaries not seen at military hospitals and clinics are seen by civilian providers at a higher cost. To learn more about the TRICARE health plan, visit TRICARE’s SMART site for access to fact sheets and brochures on how each plan works.
•
DECEMBER 11, 2015
TRAVELING WITH TRICARE AT THE HOLIDAYS During the holiday season, many TRICARE Overseas Program (TOP) beneďŹ ciaries will ďŹ nd themselves traveling overseas and in the United States. Follow these six steps to make traveling with TRICARE easy during the holiday season. 1. Schedule routine health and dental ofďŹ ce visits before you travel or postpone them until you return to your enrolled location. 2. Make sure your records are up to date in the Defense Enrollment Eligibility Reporting System (DEERS). Visit www.tricare.mil/deers for more information. 3. Carry your uniformed services identiďŹ cation card or Common Access Card with you. 4. Prepare for your travel by printing pocket-sized TRICARE resources for your reference while you are away: • The Contact Wallet Card • The TOP Country-Specific Wallet Card 5. For urgent care, if a military hospital or clinic is not available, get prior authorization. If you are an active duty family member and you do not coordinate urgent care with your primary care manager (PCM) or the TOP Regional Call Center, the care will be covered under the TRICARE Prime point-of-service option for higher out-of-pocket costs. For more information, visit www.tricare.mil/ pointofservice. 6. In an emergency, go to the nearest emergency care facility or call the Medical Assistance number for the area where you are traveling. If you are admitted, you must call your PCM or TOP Regional Call Center before leaving the facility, or within 24 hours or on the next business day to coordinate authorization, continued care and payment.
