Wisconsin company provides claims processing and associated customer service for the TRICARE Overseas Program
MADISON, Wis.—Sept. 24, 2015—Wisconsin Physicians Service Insurance
Corporation (WPS) will continue its partnership with International SOS Government
Services, Inc. through a new Defense Health Agency contract for the TRICARE Overseas
Program (TOP).
In support of the contract, WPS will provide claims processing and associated customer
service for health claims relating to U.S. military personnel serving overseas. The new
five-year contract starts Sept. 1, 2016, and includes a one-year transition starting on
September 1, 2015. WPS has been a subcontractor for International SOS and the TOP
since 2010.
“We are extremely pleased with this new agreement. It validates the hard work our
employees perform every day to support the TRICARE Overseas Program,” said Brian
Brugger, Executive Vice President of WPS Military and Veterans Health. “We look
forward to continuing our partnership with International SOS and our long history of
servicing overseas beneficiaries, providers, and Government stakeholders.”
International SOS was awarded the new TOP contract by the Department of Defense
through the Defense Health Agency. TRICARE is the DOD’s worldwide health care
program available to eligible beneficiaries from any of the seven uniformed services.
Under the new contract award, International SOS will continue to deliver health care
services to U.S. active-duty service members, their family members, retirees and other
TRICARE-eligible beneficiaries in nearly 200 countries and territories outside the United
States and District of Columbia.
