The Department of Defense (DoD) today announced the continuation of its
transformation to new military healthcare contractors and changes in
regional areas of responsibility.
On Aug. 1, 2004, Tricare-eligible beneficiaries in Alabama,
Florida, Georgia, eastern Louisiana, Mississippi, South Carolina and
Tennessee transition to the Tricare South Region. These locations formerly
comprised the Southeast and Gulf South Regions (Regions 3 and 4). This is
the third major transition to new regions and new contracts announced by the
department, including the initial transition of parts of the West Region on
June 1 and parts of the North Region on July 1.
According to Dr. William Winkenwerder Jr., assistant secretary
of defense for health affairs, Through these new and competitively awarded
contracts we offer our beneficiaries a suite of services that provide the
highest quality of care and a high level of customer service. These
qualities of Tricare also make it a world-class, value-added benefit of
military service.
