TRICARE offers a special program, the Extended Care Health Option (ECHO), to provide financial assistance for qualifying military beneficiaries who have been diagnosed with moderate or severe intellectual disability, a serious physical disability, or an extraordinary physical or psychological condition.

Some examples of qualifying conditions include:

• Diagnosis of a neuromuscular developmental condition or other condition in an infant or toddler expected to precede a diagnosis of moderate or severe mental retardation or serious physical disability
• Extraordinary physical or psychological condition causing the beneficiary to be homebound
• Moderate or severe mental retardation
• Multiple disabilities (may qualify if there are two or more disabilities affecting separate body systems)
• Serious physical disability

The ECHO program’s coverage includes:

• Assistive services (e.g., those from a qualified interpreter or translator)
• Durable equipment, including adaptation and maintenance
• Expanded in-home medical services through TRICARE ECHO Home Health Care (EHHC)
• Medical and rehabilitative services
• In-home respite care services (can only be used in a month when at least one other ECHO benefit is being received):
  • ECHO respite care—up to 16 hours per month
  • EHHC respite care—up to eight hours per day, five days per week for those who qualify Note: The EHHC benefit cap is equivalent to what TRICARE would reimburse if the beneficiary was in a skilled nursing facility
• Training to use assistive technology devices
• Institutional care when a residential environment is required
• Special education
• Transportation under certain limited circumstances (includes the cost of a medical attendant when needed to safely transport the beneficiary)
• ECHO benefits, services, and supplies are not available through the basic Johns Hopkins USFHP. All ECHO services require pre-authorization through Johns Hopkins USFHP Care Management.

To enroll in the ECHO program, you must currently be a member of Johns Hopkins USFHP, be enrolled in the Exceptional Family Member Program (EFMP) of their branch of service, and provide medical documentation that a qualifying condition exists. USFHP will grant provisional ECHO enrollment (for 90 days) while the sponsor completes the EFMP forms.  Upon receipt of the application and documentation, members will receive a decision letter with their eligibility status.

For general questions, potential ECHO enrollees or family members may call Johns Hopkins USFHP customer service at 410-424-4528 or 800-808-7347. We also have a dedicated ECHO Care Coordinator who can answer more detailed questions regarding the eligibility and enrollment process.
