## TRICARE in New Hampshire New Hampshire is part of the **TRICARE East Region**. Comprehensive medical coverage for service members and families in the Granite State is managed by the regional contractor, **Humana Military**. Beneficiaries in New Hampshire, particularly those near the Seacoast, often utilize a mix of military treatment facilities and a robust network of civilian providers.

## Major military installations New Hampshire’s military presence is anchored by the Air National Guard and specialized Navy support. The largest installations include:

* **Pease Air National Guard Base (157th Air Refueling Wing):** Portsmouth/Newington (Air Force/Air National Guard) * **Portsmouth Naval Shipyard:** Kittery, ME/Portsmouth, NH (Navy) – *Note: While the shipyard is technically on Seavey's Island in Maine, it is essentially the hub for TRICARE activity in the New Hampshire Seacoast region.* * **New Hampshire Army National Guard State Military Reservation:** Concord (Army)

## Finding care in New Hampshire Beneficiaries can find care through the **Humana Military East Region Provider Directory**.

* **Direct Care:** Members near the Seacoast may receive care at the 64th Medical Group clinic at Pease ANGB or the Naval Branch Health Clinic at the Portsmouth Naval Shipyard. * **Network Providers:** Using network providers (doctors who have a contract with Humana Military) results in lower out-of-pocket costs for TRICARE Select and Reserve Select members. * **US Family Health Plan:** Residents of Southern New Hampshire (roughly south of Concord/Dover) often opt for the US Family Health Plan via **Martin’s Point Health Care**. This is a TRICARE Prime option that uses a specific network of civilian doctors instead of military clinics. * **Telehealth:** Humana Military offers several telehealth platforms for urgent care and mental health visits, which is particularly useful for members living in the North Country or White Mountains where specialist access may be limited.

Common questions for New Hampshire beneficiaries

**I am a member of the 157th Air Refueling Wing at Pease. Which plan should I use?** If you are on drill status (Part-Time), you are likely eligible for **TRICARE Reserve Select (TRS)**. If you are on Active Guard Reserve (AGR) status, you are covered under **TRICARE Prime** and should coordinate care through the Pease clinic or your assigned civilian PCM.

**Can I use the Portsmouth Naval Shipyard clinic if I live in New Hampshire?** Yes. Even though the shipyard is physically located in the Kittery, ME area, it serves as a primary medical hub for the entire New Hampshire Seacoast military community.

**Does New Hampshire Medicaid (Granite Advantage) work with TRICARE?** Yes. TRICARE is always the primary payer to Medicaid. If you are eligible for both, TRICARE pays first, and New Hampshire Medicaid acts as the payer of last resort.
