## Finding care in Virginia: Focus on JB Langley-Eustis Beneficiaries stationed at or living near **Joint Base Langley-Eustis** have access to significant on-base medical resources.

### MTF Access at JBLE * **633d Medical Group (Langley):** Provides primary and specialty care for the Air Force wing and surrounding community. * **McDonald Army Health Center (Eustis):** Serves the Army population in Newport News with primary care and various clinics.

### Civilian Network If you are enrolled in TRICARE Prime and care is unavailable at a JBLE facility, or if you are enrolled in TRICARE Select, you must use the **Humana Military Provider Directory** to find "In-Network" providers to keep your out-of-pocket costs at the 2026 negotiated rates. Virginia has an exceptionally high "Network" participation rate among civilian specialists in the Hampton Roads and Northern Virginia areas.

### 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 access without a referral for most non-active duty beneficiaries.

Common questions for Virginia beneficiaries

**I am PCSing to JB Langley-Eustis. When should I switch my enrollment?** Do not switch your enrollment until you have physically arrived at your new address in Virginia. Once you arrive, you can update your information in DEERS and contact Humana Military to move your TRICARE Prime enrollment to the East Region.

**Does TRICARE work with Virginia Medicaid?** Yes. By law, TRICARE is the secondary payer to all other health insurance plans, including Virginia Medicaid. Medicaid is always the "payer of last resort."

**Can I use the US Family Health Plan at Langley-Eustis?** The US Family Health Plan (USFHP) is an alternative to TRICARE Prime. If you choose USFHP, you receive all your care through a participating civilian health system instead of through JBLE military clinics or the standard Humana network.
