E-mail updates deliver the latest TRICARE news and benefits

  • Published
Nowadays there is a Web site for everyone and everything, and it can be difficult to keep up with all the information out there. TRICARE beneficiaries can make staying current on their health benefits easy by signing up for e-mail updates and having the latest TRICARE news and health information delivered straight to their e-mail inbox.

Subscribers can customize their account by choosing to receive as many or as few items as they like based on their beneficiary category or topics of interest. Subscribers can even decide when they would like to receive their e-mails. Facing an already-crowded inbox? Choose daily, weekly, or monthly digests instead of immediate notifications.

Creating an account is easy and secure. After entering their e-mail address at www.tricare.mil/subscriptions, beneficiaries can choose their beneficiary category and topics that appeal to them. After that they'll receive the latest TRICARE news releases, benefit changes, podcasts, healthy lifestyle tips and pharmacy updates from TRICARE Communications.

The subscription service also allows users to subscribe to other Military Health System Web sites and other health-related federal Web sites. Some of the Web sites currently available include those from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and Food and Drug Administration.

TRICARE's e-mail updates are sent through GovDelivery, which also provides services to dozens of other Department of Defense and federal agencies as well as state and local governments. Visit www.tricare.mil/subscriptions to subscribe.
