US Family Health Plan
Our TRICARE option offers affordable rates, local associates, and shorter wait times for care!
At CHRISTUS Health, we understand and appreciate the sacrifices military members make on our behalf, which is why we take great pride in providing these individuals and their families with the health care coverage they’ve earned.
US Family Health Plan (USFHP) is an option for TRICARE Prime eligible active duty family members, military retirees and their families.
With six US Family Health Plans available across the country, members are able to transfer from one region to another without an interruption in benefits.
This plan is Department of Defense-approved, so whether you’re stationed at home or away, you can trust that CHRISTUS has your family’s health covered.
