How do I check my TRICARE eligibility?

Direct answer: Make sure your information is current in DEERS, then log in to milConnect to check your eligibility — or call the DMDC/DEERS Support Office at 800-538-9552 if you'd rather not go online.

Applies to: All TRICARE plans · All regions

Details

Your regional contractor can also confirm eligibility by phone. Eligibility problems almost always trace back to DEERS — an out-of-date address, an unregistered family member, or an expired document — so if milConnect shows you as ineligible, that’s the first place to check before assuming there’s a TRICARE-side error.

What to do next

Confirm this with your Primary Care Manager or regional contractor before scheduling — rules can vary by region and by service.
