Which statement describes TRICARE Prime Remote?

• A. For members who live greater than a 50 mile radius outside a Military Treatment Facility (MTF), retirees are not eligible.
• B. Enrollment is not required.
• C. It offers freedom to choose own providers.
• D. It has no enrollment fee for active duty.

Answer: (A)

TRICARE Prime Remote is designed for active-duty service members who live far from a military treatment facility. A main eligibility rule is that this option is for those who reside at a significant distance from an MTF, and it is limited to active-duty personnel. Retirees are not eligible for Prime Remote, which is why the statement about retirees not being eligible accurately describes how the program works. The other choices describe aspects that are not defining features—Prime Remote requires enrollment and the use of a network primary care manager, rather than giving free choice of any provider, and while enrollment logistics exist, the key point is that eligibility is restricted to active duty members living far from an MTF.
