The Military Health System (MHS) and the TRICARE health plan are
required to comply with HIPAA privacy policies and procedures for
the use and disclosure of PHI. The TRICARE website has this
information about release of information:

Some states have restrictions on disclosure
of health information to family members to protect the privacy of
certain minors and dependent
adult family members. These restrictions on
disclosure of information may include accessing personal health and
medical information
through electronic or Internet based
services. If you have questions regarding this matter, we recommend
that you contact your local
Military Treatment Facility (MTF) for more
information about disclosure of health information and applicable
privacy laws within the state or
jurisdiction that you and your family
receive care.

What steps should medical insurance specialists take to ensure
compliance with this information?
