What do I do there aren't any explicit instructions that I can find. My dodmerbtricare says that I need to send in paperwork regarding headaches I had in middle school. Do I just call my doctors office and ask for copies? And where do I mail them to? Looking everywhere on the site to figure it out. Do I upload them?
 
Remedial codes https://dodmerb.tricare.osd.mil/RemedialCodes.aspx This is what the code means.

If you were only treated by your Doctor, then request all your records regarding the diagnosis and treatment of your headaches. If other physicians, hospitals, etc were involved you will want to gather those records also.
