Which TRICARE plan applies overseas?

Direct answer: The overseas plan depends on your status. TRICARE Select Overseas has its own official page, and TRICARE For Life has separate overseas rules.

Applies to: All TRICARE plans · All regions

Details

Start with TRICARE Select Overseas. If you have Medicare and TRICARE For Life, use the TRICARE For Life page and the overseas contractor your plan names.

Returning from overseas or retiring overseas does not by itself pick the plan. Confirm the plan in DEERS and with the contractor.

What to do next

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