TRICARE explains benefits through free on-line course Published May 6, 2008 FALLS CHURCH, Va. -- For those who want a better understanding of the TRICARE benefit, TRICARE University is offering a free on-line public course. No registration is required for the TRICARE Public course. "This course is similar to the in-depth classroom courses we offer those who provide benefit counseling and assistance to our beneficiaries," said Army Major General Elder Granger, Deputy Director, TRICARE Management Activity. "All of our 9.2 million eligible beneficiaries will find this course helpful, but it is especially valuable to those who support TRICARE beneficiaries and their families worldwide." From anywhere at any time, on-line "students" can learn about a wide range of topics such as eligibility, medical benefits, TRICARE programs, pharmacy, dental, on-line resources, and TRICARE Reserve Select (TRS). The public on-line course is designed in modules that allow beneficiaries to learn about TRICARE benefits in any order of interest and at their own pace. To learn and understand the benefit, log on to www.tricare.mil/tricareu and click "online training" to select the TRICARE Public course. TRS is an additional selection under the public course.
