TRICARE Standard and Extra:
Referrals and Authorizations


You can access care from the TRICARE-authorized provider you choose whenever you need it. Referrals are not required, but some services will require prior authorization.

A prior authorization is a review of the requested health care service to determine if it is medically necessary at the requested level of care. Some providers may call Humana Military to obtain prior authorization for you. If you have questions about authorization requirements, call Humana Military for assistance before seeking care.

Humana Military has additional prior authorization requirements. Call 1-800-444-5445 to learn about Humana Military's requirements, as they may change periodically.
