TRICARE open season has officially kicked off and will run through Dec. 14. What decisions you make during these six week's impacts your coverage for an entire year, so it's important to be prepared with the health care answers needed to make the best decision for your family. 

As part of the DOD military health family and proudly serving military families for over 30 years, US Family Health Plan at PacMed, remains a leader in military healthcare plans. 

US Family Health understands there are a lot of factors to consider when choosing a military health care plan that works for you. For many, an extensive choice of primary care doctors and specialists is a high priority. Or maybe you're looking for an all-civilian provider network and convenient locations. And for most it's reassuring to know that the plan they choose is DoD-sponsored and delivers all your TRICARE Prime Benefits. The US Family Health Plan at PacMed delivers on all of these advantages and more.
