On April 1, 2013, UnitedHealth Military & Veterans Services (UMVS) began providing managed care services to 2.9 million TRICARE beneficiaries in the 21 western states, including California. UVMS took over the contract previously held by TriWest. To help physicians understand the impact the transition will have on their practices, the California Medical Association (CMA) has prepared a TRICARE Transition Guide.

The guide is available free to members in the CMA resource library.
