Did you know that TRICARE has services for beneficiaries with special needs?

The Department of Defense celebrates the Month of the Military Child in April. In recognition of our military families, the 779th Medical Group (779 MDG), Population Health Department would like to highlight the Exceptional Family Member Program (EFMP) and the benefits it provides for military members and their families.

The EFMP is responsible, per DoD instructions, to collect information regarding any special health and education requirements of military family members. When it's time for families to relocate, EFMP helps to ensure there are adequate medical and educational resources available when families arrive at their new location. Documentation regarding the medical and educational needs of family members is transferred digitally to the receiving base. The gaining medical unit will approve or deny the request for transfer based on the availability of services.
