Free, plain-English help for filing your own TRICARE claim — written from experience, not a brochure.
File My Claim was created by a U.S. military retiree living in Italy who encountered firsthand the complexity of filing TRICARE medical claims. The process — paper forms, itemized billing, portal submissions, proof of payment — is unnecessarily difficult for those who have already given years of service.
This tool was built out of a simple belief: the military community should not face additional frustration when accessing the healthcare benefits they have earned. File My Claim is currently available at no cost. It requires no account, uploads nothing, and stores nothing on any server.
This is a voluntary, non-commercial project with no affiliation to TRICARE, the Defense Health Agency, or the U.S. Department of Defense. It is one member of the military community giving back to another.
