Health Care Options When Activated or Living Overseas

You and your family may be eligible for TRICARE Overseas Program options. If you are on orders for more than 30 consecutive days, you are eligible to enroll in TRICARE Prime Overseas, TRICARE Global Remote Overseas (TGRO), or TRICARE Puerto Rico Prime, depending on where you live. Once you arrive at your final overseas duty station, contact your nearest overseas TRICARE Service Center (TSC) or TAO about how to enroll in one of these program options.
