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
TRICARE Find a Provider web page online or Humana Military's
TRICARE Provider Locator.
If you move to a new region, be sure to learn who your new regional contractor is and where to file your claims. See the Claims section for details.
You can use the TRICARE Standard option and receive care from any host nation provider overseas. The TRICARE Overseas Program Standard option, including cost-shares and deductibles, is similar to the stateside program. There are some limits for overseas health care services and pharmacy coverage. Contact the TAO for the overseas area where you are moving or the nearest American Embassy Health Unit to find a host nation provider. For TAO contact information, see “Traveling Overseas” in this section. For a list of American Embassies and Consular Offices worldwide, visit the
U.S. Department of State Web site.
