Moving
   


Moving within the United States

Whether you are moving to another area within the same TRICARE region or to a different TRICARE region, moving with TRICARE Standard and TRICARE Extra is easy. All you need to do is update your personal information in DEERS, find a new provider, and continue to receive care when you need it.

To find a provider, visit the provider locator online. Humana Military also has a network provider locator to locate providers in the south region.

If you move to a new region, learn who your new regional contractor is and where to file your claims. See the Claims section for details.


Moving Overseas

You can use the TRICARE Standard option and receive care from any host nation provider overseas. The TRICARE Overseas Program Standard option is similar to the stateside program, including cost-shares and deductibles. Contact the TAO for the overseas area where you are moving or the nearest American Embassy Health Unit for assistance finding a host nation provider. Visit the U.S. Department of State Web site for a list of every American Embassy or Consular Office worldwide. Note: The TRICARE Extra option is not available overseas.

There are some limitations in health care services and pharmacy coverage overseas. Check with the TAO for details. You can request a copy of the TRICARE Beneficiary Handbook for your overseas area.
