question 11 (2.5 points)
which tricare managed care option is similar to a civilian health maintenance organization?
a. champus
b. tricare
c. tricare prime

Explanation:

TRICARE Prime is a managed - care option within the TRICARE system. A health maintenance organization (HMO) typically has a network of providers, requires a primary care manager, and often has lower out - of - pocket costs for in - network care. TRICARE Prime shares these characteristics: it has a network of military and civilian providers, enrollees are assigned a primary care manager, and it emphasizes preventive care and coordinated care within the network, similar to how a civilian HMO operates. CHAMPUS is the predecessor program to TRICARE and does not have the same HMO - like structure. TRICARE is a broader umbrella term for military health care programs and not specifically the HMO - like option.

Answer:

c. TRICARE Prime
