This form is used by beneficiaries to request reimbursement for their medical expenses under the TRICARE program. The information gathered helps determine the eligibility of beneficiaries, assess other health insurance liabilities, confirm that care was received, and facilitate payment for medical services. Public comments on the proposal are encouraged and must be submitted by January 27, 2025.
