Prime Remote Handbook

National Guard and Reserve family members are eligible for TPRADFM if their sponsor is activated for more than 30 consecutive days (under federal orders). You are considered an “active duty family member” when your sponsor is on active duty orders. Throughout this handbook, when we refer to active duty family members, we are also referring to you.

Additionally, you must reside with your sponsor (within a TPR-designated ZIP code) upon activation or effective date of orders. The sponsor is not required to be eligible for, or be enrolled in, TPR for you to be eligible for TPRADFM. Finally, your DEERS information must be accurate and up to date. Regardless of your status, if your DEERS information is incorrect or outdated, you may not be considered eligible to enroll.

Once enrolled, you may remain in TPRADFM for the entire period of your sponsor’s activation, regardless of any changes in your sponsor’s duty location. However, if you move from the TPRADFM location where you are enrolled or if your sponsor retires, you will lose TPRADFM coverage and will be eligible for TRICARE Standard, TRICARE Extra, or TRICARE Prime (where available).

Your sponsor can include all eligible family members on his or her TRICARE Prime Enrollment Application and PCM Change Form. However, sponsors are not required to be enrolled in TPR for family members to enroll in TPRADFM. Follow the instructions on the form or the guidance provided if you call Humana Military.
