Final answer:
Network Providers are the TRICARE authorized providers with a signed agreement to provide care and handle claims filing for beneficiaries.
Step-by-step explanation:
The type of TRICARE authorized providers who have a signed agreement with your regional contractor to provide care and file claims for you are Network Providers. These providers are part of TRICARE's network and have agreed to accept the TRICARE allowable charge as payment in full for covered health care services. They also take care of filing claims on behalf of TRICARE beneficiaries, thus ensuring a smoother process for covered individuals when accessing health care services. Network Providers have a contractual agreement with TRICARE to provide healthcare services and negotiate rates with the regional contractor. They typically submit claims directly to TRICARE on your behalf. Non-Network Providers, on the other hand, may still provide care but do not have a contractual agreement and may not file claims for you.
