Living with a chronic health condition can feel hard. But you don’t have to do it alone. TRICARE offers programs and coverage to help you live better with chronic conditions like asthma, diabetes, heart disease, anxiety, and depression.

Childhood and teen years can be full of ups and downs. It’s normal for kids to be sad or irritable or to have trouble paying attention or interacting with others at times. But sometimes, these feelings and behaviors are signs that your child could need mental health care. Learn how TRICARE can support your child’s mental health and find tips and resources for supporting your child’s well-being.

Is leaving home for care a challenge? TRICARE covers solutions that make it easier to get the care—and drugs—you may need. Your TRICARE plan may cover certain in-home health services and pharmacy home delivery options. This gives you flexibility and convenience in your care.

Are you a service member, family member, or survivor? Your TRICARE benefit covers a variety of mental health services. But did you know there are other counseling services available to you? This article explores what services you can access if you need support.

🚧 Gate Closure Alert 🚧 Madigan Gate (I-5 exit 122A) will be CLOSED starting October 10, 2025, and is not scheduled to reopen till January 16, 2026. The Logistics Gate (I-5 exit 122B) will transition to 24-hour operations during this period. The Madigan gate is being closed for construction and to make improvements to the access control point. We encourage our valued patients to please plan their commutes accordingly during the gate closure and anticipate the potential for increased traffic at other gates.

Due to popular demand, we’ve upgraded to a larger-capacity ScriptCenter to hold more prescriptions and reduce wait times. Find the new ScriptCenter at the Lewis Exchange Pharmacy Lobby!

As Madigan undergoes a refresh of the MHS GENESIS electronic health record, our patients should expect the following things to occur: - From 9 pm 18 Jul until 6 am 19 Jul 2025 patients can expect longer than normal wait times for the Emergency Department. - On 19 July the Madigan appointment line (Puget Sound Integrated Referral and Appointing Center) will not be booking any new appointments until the changes conclude and are validated. Look for the return to full service the morning of 20 July 2025. - Patients should plan for longer wait times at the Outpatient Pharmacy, Lab and Radiology as they adjust to the changes. - Madigan will have a small reduction in available appointments in Primary Care on 21 July 2025 as clinics adapt to the changes. Full access to care is back in place beginning on 22 July 2025. - Please Note: To avoid extended waits in the Madigan Emergency Department and ensure continuity of care with your primary care provider, we advise you to book appointments for non-emergency care during this period. We are working to minimize disruptions and appreciate your understanding as we enhance our electronic health record system to better serve you.
