TRICARE Philippine Demonstration

The TRICARE Philippine Demonstration is designed to ensure high-quality health care for eligible TRICARE Standard beneficiaries who live in the Philippines and receive care in a designated demonstration area. TRICARE Standard beneficiaries include those who are using TRICARE Standard Overseas, TRICARE For Life, TRICARE Reserve Select, TRICARE Retired Reserve and TRICARE Young Adult-Standard Option.

The Philippine Demonstration provides you with access to approved providers, passing these benefits along to you:

• You will have access to providers who deliver quality medical care.
• You will not have to file claims. Approved demonstration providers have agreed to file claims on your behalf.
• You will be responsible for your deductible and cost shares, but you will not be required to make up-front payments. Approved demonstration providers have agreed to collect only the applicable deductible and cost shares after receiving the TRICARE explanation of benefits.
• You will have reduced out-of-pocket costs. Approved demonstration providers have agreed to accept established reimbursement rates. You must provide your physical address to the provider (for the claims) to receive the reduced out-of-pocket costs. P.O. boxes and Retired Activity Office boxes are not acceptable.

International SOS Assistance, Inc. (International SOS), the TRICARE Overseas Program contractor, and its subcontractor, Global 24 Network Services, will administer the TRICARE Philippine Demonstration as it rolls out into each designated area. International SOS provides the assistance you need for customer service, finding an approved provider, authorization, claims and much more.
