The list will be made available to you when you arrive and fill out the application during in-processing or you can check out TRICARE’s website or call them at Additionally, you will find a list of all network providers that provide specialty care - just remember that you’ll need a referral from your PCM and TRICARE before seeing them.

For family members, there is a $3 co-pay for generic drugs and $9 for name brand prescriptions. You can get these filled at a variety of locations to include: Walgreens, Target, Sam’s Club, CVS, and Rite-Aid.

TJAGLCS has a small gym room with some cardio, free weights, and machines on-site. However, we have a contract with Gold’s Gym (about 5 min away) which allows all staff and faculty and their families to have access free of charge. We are allocated 50 slots per day. All you need to do is bring your military ID card or your military dependant card to the gym and sign-in. There is childcare on site, but you must pay for this option out of your pocket.
Since TJAGLCS is located on the University of Virginia campus, we have an agreement with UVA which allows our faculty and family members to have access to their numerous athletic facilities. You will have to pay for the membership ($345/year) – the same as UVA faculty. See the G1 section for more information and the memorandum to present to UVA.
