1. On 1 September 2020, the Defense Health Agency (DHA) launched 74 new military hospital and clinic Air Force websites. This is an effort to modernize the web presence of all military treatment facilities (MTFs). Each website transitioned to the TRICARE domain will provide a standardized patient experience across the Military Health System (MHS).
2. TRICARE may give some military families and retirees the option to choose a health network other than the two to manage the TRICARE East and West regions, according to a report delivered by the Pentagon to Congress in August. TRICARE winning contractors will be required to partner with local health plans or networks in their regions to provide services to TRICARE beneficiaries.
