What do I update with TRICARE when I move?

Direct answer: After a move, update DEERS, then transfer or re-enroll with the contractor for the new region before you need care there.

Applies to: All TRICARE plans · All regions

Details

Start with DEERS and the eligibility rules for a qualifying life event. The new region can mean a new contractor even when the plan name stays the same.

What to do next

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