* **Fort Barfoot Area:** Located near Blackstone, Fort Barfoot is an Army National Guard maneuver training center. While it does not have a large-scale military hospital like Portsmouth or Fort Gregg-Adams, beneficiaries in this area typically access care at nearby **Kenner Army Health Clinic (Fort Gregg-Adams)** or through the Humana Military network of civilian providers in the Blackstone/Farmville/Petersburg corridor. * **Network vs. Non-Network:** Using "Network" providers results in lower out-of-pocket costs and no need to file your own claims. In Virginia, the network is extensive, but always verify a provider's status before your appointment. * **Telehealth:** TRICARE covers secure video conferencing for many services. In Virginia, Humana Military partners with platforms like Doctor on Demand to provide 24/7 urgent care and mental health visits without a referral for most Prime members (excluding active duty).

Common questions for Virginia beneficiaries

**If I am training at Fort Barfoot, where do I go for medical care?** Personnel on orders at Fort Barfoot typically receive medical support through the installation's medical aid stations. For more significant care, beneficiaries are often referred to Kenner Army Health Clinic at Fort Gregg-Adams (approx. 45 miles away) or local civilian network hospitals in Southside Virginia.

**Can I use the US Family Health Plan (USFHP) in Virginia?** Yes, but only in specific zip codes, primarily in Northern Virginia and those within a certain radius of the DC metro area. USFHP is a TRICARE Prime option managed by Johns Hopkins Military Health in this region. If you enroll in USFHP, you cannot see doctors at military clinics or use the TRICARE pharmacy home delivery service.

**How does TRICARE work with Virginia Medicaid?** TRICARE is always the primary payer to Medicaid. If you have both, your provider must bill TRICARE first. Medicaid is the payer of last resort.
