    Fort Hood Community Information January 24, 2018 Community Services Council (CSC) Key Events and Community Updates a. Carl R. Darnall Army Medical Center (CRDAMC) COL David Gibson 2018 TRICARE Changes On Jan. 1, 2018, historic reform began rolling out in the Military Health System (MHS). A new era in TRICARE support contracts will improve health care delivery and enhance medical readiness. Core features of our reforms include improved access, simplified administration, and a modernized health plan. As part of this reform, TRICARE costs have changed. Beneficiaries now fall into one of two groups. Beneficiaries whose sponsor's initial enlistment or appointment occurred before Jan. 1, 2018 are in Group A. Those whose sponsor's initial enlistment or appointment occurred after Jan. 1, 2018 are in Group B. (Note: Those in premium- based plans now have Group B cost-shares regardless of when their sponsor first joined the service. Premium-based plans are: TRICARE Reserve Select (TRS), TRICARE Retired Reserve (TRR), TRICARE Young Adult (TYA), and Continued Health Care Benefit Program (CHCBP). In addition, more preventive services will be covered under TRICARE Select at no cost than were covered under TRICARE Standard and Extra if they are provided by a network provider. 2018 TRICARE Pharmacy Changes Beginning February 1, 2018, TRICARE pharmacy copayments will be changing for all beneficiaries, except Active Duty Service Members (ADSMs), dependent survivors of ADSMs, and medically retired service members and their dependents. The changes are required by United States federal law, with the passage of the National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2018. Copayments for generic drugs, brand name drugs, and non-formulary drugs are increasing across the retail and home delivery points of service.

Helpful Links If you love grapefruit, sweet onions, and armor-plated armadillos, you’re going to feel right at home in the Lone Star State. But, if you don’t care for the official state symbols, you’re in luck, because everyone loves the state flower, Bluebonnets! Welcome to Army pride is strong on Fort Fort Hood! Hood because it’s home to the 1st Cavalry Division, the largest armored division in the United States. It’s easy to see why Fort Hood is nicknamed “The Great Place.” Those who live here agree quality of life is high—especially if you appreciate long, humid summers and pleasantly snowless winters. Fort Hood Area Military Installations Located between Waco and Austin, Fort Hood, Texas, is the largest active duty U.S. military installation. The post is over 300 square miles--so if you aren’t already familiar with the area, you might feel a little overwhelmed when you get orders to PCS there. Since it’s such a large installation, it’s important to know which side of the post your service member will spend most of his or her time. The base has three main entrances: Clear Creek Gate, TJ Mills Gate, and WS Young Gate. Getting Around Fort Hood Map courtesy Military Town Advisor Killeen is a typical military town with a lot of chain restaurants, big brand stores, and strip malls.
