ELLSWORTH AIR FORCE BASE, S.D. --  TRICARE officials have announced that those eligible for the services offered under the program are eligible for a paperless statement option.

Those enrolled can cut down clutter and get access to their TRICARE healthcare information quickly by registering for a secure TriWest.com account and signing up for paperless Explanation of Benefits statements, referral and authorization letters and fee statements.

All paperless communications are housed safely in a secure, password-protected account. Enrolled members can log into their account at any time from their desktop, their phone, or their tablet anywhere with an Internet connection.

This option can also help to ensure health information is organized online, at a patient's fingertips while they cut the clutter of their printed and mailed healthcare records.

Many of the benefits include:
· Easy Access. Patients can manage their healthcare information online anytime, from anywhere in the world.
· Convenient. Those enrolled can quickly and easily find all their information in one safe, secure place. In addition get emails when new information is posted to their account.
· Secure. Go paperless and don't worry about shredding, filing or losing statements again.
· Simple. TriWest archives and organizes up to three years of information for patients (30 days available on the mobile site), making it easy to find what they need, when they need it.
· Smart. Less printing means using less paper and less energy.
