FALLS CHURCH, Va.  –  Do you live overseas and need health care? Depending on the country you’re in, you may be able to get telemedicine care from the comfort of your home.
 
“Over the past few years, many countries have changed their laws to allow more telemedicine options,” said Michael Griffin, program analyst with the TRICARE Overseas Program Office at the Defense Health Agency. “As a result, the TRICARE Overseas contractor, International SOS, expanded telemedicine services in line with the new laws in these countries.”
