The Military Health System (MHS) is a global, integrated health delivery system tasked with ensuring the medical readiness of the U.S. Armed Forces while fulfilling the individual health care needs of eligible military personnel and their dependents. The MHS network comprises military hospitals and clinics that ensure the medical readiness of the force, which are complemented by programs that enable beneficiary care in the private sector through the TRICARE insurance program. Mental health disorders accounted for the largest proportions of the morbidity and health care burdens that affected the pediatric and younger adult beneficiary age groups of nonservice member beneficiaries of the Military Health System in 2023. Among adults aged 45-64 years and adults aged 65 years and older, musculoskeletal diseases accounted for the most morbidity and health care burdens. With almost all health care for Medicare-eligible beneficiaries aged 65 years and older at private sector medical facilities, over 91% of health care encounters among non-service member beneficiaries (TRICARE-eligible and Medicare-eligible) occurred at non-military medical facilities.
军事卫生系统（MHS）是一个全球性的、综合的卫生服务提供系统，负责确保美国武装部队的医疗准备，同时满足合格军事人员及其家属的个人医疗需求。MHS 网络包括确保部队医疗准备的军事医院和诊所，并通过 TRICARE 保险计划为私营部门的受益人提供医疗服务。2023 年，精神健康障碍在影响军事卫生系统非军人受益人未成年和年轻成年受益人的发病率和医疗负担方面占比最大。在 45-64 岁的成年人和 65 岁及以上的成年人中，肌肉骨骼疾病占发病率和医疗负担的最大比例。由于 Medicare 合格受益人中 65 岁及以上的人几乎所有的医疗保健都在私营部门医疗机构进行，因此非军人受益人（TRICARE 合格和 Medicare 合格）的医疗保健中有超过 91%发生在非军事医疗机构。
