What is the difference between TRICARE Prime and TRICARE Select?
With TRICARE Prime, your provider will file claims for you in most cases. Under TRICARE Select, you aren't required to have a PCM. You manage your own health care and can receive care from any provider. However, you can save money with TRICARE Select if you see a TRICARE-authorized network provider.
