The US Family Health Plan at CHRISTUS Health delivers full TRICARE Prime benefits to the family members of active-duty military, activated Guard and Reserve, military retirees and their family members - and has one of the highest member satisfaction rates in the entire Military Health System.

In 1981, CHRISTUS Health (formerly Sisters of Charity Health Care System) began caring for military beneficiaries as part of the Uniformed Services Treatment Facilities. In 1993, we, along with other US Family Health Plan programs around the country, became the first government-sponsored managed care plan – the Uniformed Services Family Health Plan (US Family Health Plan/USFHP) and enrolled our first members. USFHP serves the health care needs of over 12,000 military beneficiaries in Southeast Texas and Southwest Louisiana, and more than 90,000 families nationwide. US Family Health Plan strives to deliver high-touch service to exceed military and commercial health care standards, provide care that’s close to home, give families excellent health benefits at a great value.
