I lost my TRICARE card. How do I get a replacement?

Direct answer: TRICARE doesn't issue a separate insurance card — your Uniformed Services ID card is your proof of coverage, so a lost card is replaced at a RAPIDS ID card office, not through TRICARE.

Applies to: All TRICARE plans · All regions

Details

Use the RAPIDS site locator to find an office and book an appointment, or contact the DEERS support line for help. While you wait for a replacement, you can download a wallet card through milConnect after enrolling in a TRICARE health plan — but that wallet card is not proof of eligibility or enrollment by itself; you still need your Uniformed Services ID card.

What to do next

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