Veterans Affairs Awards TriWest $5 Billion Community Care Network Contract

The federal Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) selected TriWest Healthcare Alliance (TriWest) to serve as third-party administrator to manage Region 5 of the VA Community Care Network (CCN), which includes all of Alaska. The VA’s CCN will allow veterans who are unable to receive care at the local VA medical center, either due to a lack of availability, long transit, or long wait times, to receive care from high-performing licensed civilian health care professionals and provider organizations that provide medical, dental, and pharmacy services, including mental health and addiction treatment services.

CCN is the VA’s standard . . .
