Dump the Clutter, Help the Environment: Go Paperless! Published April 19, 2010 By Mike Walbert TriWest Healthcare Alliance PHOENIX -- We've all been there before: staring at stacks of junk mail and paper statements piled up in our mailbox or on our kitchen table. Did you know you can successfully manage your TRICARE benefits without sorting through thick piles of papers? When you "Go Green" with TriWest Healthcare Alliance, you gain secure access to paperless TRICARE medical communications any time you want them, from anywhere you have Internet access. Plus, going paperless significantly helps the environment. Did you know for every ton of paper not used, 17 trees are saved? New Paperless Options Now Available West Region beneficiaries who visit www.triwest.com/gogreen can choose to receive electronic Explanation of Benefits (EOB) statements, as well as a new paperless option: referral and authorization letters. Authorization is needed for certain services, such as elective surgeries. Now you can get that authorization much faster electronically, instead of waiting days for it to arrive in the mail. Why Go Green? All of your statements are stored safely in your secure, password-protected TriWest.com account, containing all the same information featured on your printed EOBs and referral/authorization letters--you just get them in a faster, more convenient and eco-friendly way.
