TRICARE and welcome U.S. Military Families. Facilities include Hospitals, Drug
and Alcohol Treatment Centers, Residential Treatment Centers, Partial Hospitalization
Programs, Hospice Services, Mental Health Services and Skilled Nursing Facilities.
"This site was originally created because of my difficulties as a military social worker stationed overseas. Locating information about facilities and making referrals took weeks, often months. Having been in the position, for twenty years, of referring military families to CHAMPUS/TRICARE facilities I know the importance of providing extensive information about facilities and direct communication links to speed up the process of locating an appropriate facility. This is especially important to families and military personnel stationed overseas."

tricaredirectories.com
is a privately operated website, not affiliated with the U.S.
government. The extensive facility information is provided by
facilities interested in serving U.S. military families. These directories were
produced in hard copy yearly from 1987 through 1999 then published on the internet
beginning in 2000.
This site was
created by the undersigned, a retired military clinical social worker, to provide extensive
information for military families which can not be found on the government site
or anywhere else. It has the added purpose of providing direct links to
listing facilities' web sites and direct email links to speed up the process of discovery,
comparison and choosing facilities by and for military families.
This site has a direct link to the
government tricare regional site which has information regarding tricare (but
not extensive information on medical facilities ). Visitors are
encouraged to use tricaredirectories.com in conjunction with the tricare
regional site, especially for locating extensive information on facilities
accepting tricare and for speedy communication with facilities.
