*Note: The **US Family Health Plan (USFHP)** is not generally available in most of Georgia, as the state is primarily served by the Humana Military network and MTFs.*

## Finding care in Georgia Beneficiaries near **Robins Air Force Base** are typically enrolled in the **78th Medical Group**, which serves as the primary MTF for the Middle Georgia area. When the MTF is at capacity or for those on TRICARE Select, finding civilian care is managed through the Humana Military provider directory.

* **Provider Directory:** Use the Humana Military East Region portal to search for "In-Network" providers in cities like Warner Robins, Macon, and Atlanta to minimize out-of-pocket costs. * **Network vs. Non-Network:** In Georgia, using a non-network provider under TRICARE Select will result in a 2026 deductible and higher cost-shares. * **Telehealth:** Humana Military offers robust telehealth options for Georgia residents, including virtual urgent care and mental health services through partners like Doctor On Demand.

Common questions for Georgia beneficiaries

**I am PCSing to Robins AFB. When should I switch my enrollment?** You should wait until you have actually arrived at your new Georgia address. Once there, you can update your address in DEERS and request a "Transfer of Enrollment" via the Humana Military beneficiary portal. This ensures you are assigned to the 78th Medical Group or a local network PCM.

**Does TRICARE work with Georgia Medicaid?** By law, TRICARE is the secondary payer to most other health insurance plans, but it is the primary payer to Medicaid. If you are a low-income beneficiary in Georgia qualified for both, providers must bill TRICARE first.

**Are there specialized military clinics in Atlanta?** While the major MTFs are located at the bases listed above, the Atlanta area is primarily served by specialized VA facilities and a large network of civilian TRICARE providers. There is no large-scale active-duty MTF in the immediate downtown Atlanta area.
