Patients are a few minutes away from a better, simpler and more secure way to manage TRICARE benefits.

Beneficiaries who register for a secure www.triwest.com account at www.triwest.com/paperless can sign up for paperless Explanation of Benefits statements. With paperless statements, TriWest will send the EOB to the patient's secure www.triwest.com account instead of mailing them.

Paperless communications are housed safely in the patient's secure, password-protected account and contain all the same information that's on the printed statements.

Using the electronic account will keep health information organized online, cut down on the clutter of printed health-care records, and help the environment. For example, every ton of paper that doesn't have to be used, 17 trees can be saved.

For more information on the benefits of being a registered user, like QuickAlert e-mail notifications when the status of a patient's claims or authorizations and referrals change, online enrollment fee payment, and more, visit www.triwest.com/paperless and find out more about the benefits of going green.
