Referral Management Center
The Referral Management Center (RMC) is available to assist you with referral questions internal to our military health care system, and after you have activated your referral. The process to activate all referrals is to call 301-677-8800 and choose option 1, regardless of where you expect to receive care. All referrals are subject to military health care system capability review within a day of referral entry. If care is available within the military health care system, you will be offered an appointment. If no capability or capacity exists, you’ll be deferred for civilian network care in accordance with your TRICARE benefit (subject to benefit review). If you have questions related to civilian network care, if you want a different provider than the one assigned, if the provider selected for you does not have appointments or no longer accepts TRICARE, or the provider is requesting a new referral or specific procedure codes, contact Humana at www.humanamilitary.com/benficiary or 1-800-444-5445.
To book your referral for specialty care you must first call the appointment call center at 301-677-8800 and choose option 1 after two business days to schedule your specialty care appointment (Don’t delay).
We are closed Federal Holidays and Command-directed closures.
