The TRICARE Community Liaison (TCL)- is a customer-facing Humana Military associate who is knowledgeable, professional and courteous. This role interacts in person and by other means, such as by telephone, e-mail, and chat with TRICARE beneficiaries, Medical Treatment Facility (MTF) and other Government staff, including senior military leaders, and civilian healthcare providers and facilities. The primary focus of the TCL is to develop and sustain strong, collaborative relationships with all TRICARE customers in the East Region – Government, beneficiaries, and providers. The TCL must be cognizant of the military way of life during all interactions, including the impact of stress, trauma, and loss on active, reserve component and retired service members and their families that result from military operations. Assigned to specific Health System Areas comprised of Prime Service Areas (PSAs) and Non-Prime Service Areas (NPSAs) in a geography that may span over 43,000 square miles, the team’s area of responsibility can include an average of more than 100,000 beneficiaries, 50,000-70,000 network and non-network providers, numerous National Guard/Reserve units, and three to four MTFs.
Through clear and concise communication, the TRICARE Community Liaison (TCL) is responsible for ensuring MTF, beneficiary, and provider understanding of the TRICARE health plan and how to navigate the Military Health System. The TCL also supports the Health System Operations Leader in local TRICARE network operations, including participating in network development and optimization strategies which focus on a medically ready force and a ready medical force. The TCL requires little supervision and uses independent, critical decision-making in managing time, setting priorities, addressing general inquiries, and resolving both straightforward inquires and complicated problems and concerns raised by beneficiaries, providers, and Government customers. The TCL may be designated as an embedded associate at an MTF and may be requested to provide back-up coverage in the absence of the Health System Operations Leader. This position will require work during uncommon duty hours and travel to conduct outreach activities.
