Life Events

TRICARE Prime continues to provide health coverage for you and your family as you experience major life events. You will, however, need to take specific actions to make sure you remain eligible for TRICARE. With every life event listed in this section, the first step is to update your information in the Defense Enrollment Eligibility Reporting System (DEERS).

To update DEERS:

Visit a uniformed services personnel office. Find one near you.
Call 1-800-538-9552.
Fax address changes to DEERS at 1-831-655-8317.

Mail the address change to:
The Defense Manpower
Data Center Support Office
Attn: COA
400 Gigling Road
Seaside, CA 93955-6771

Update addresses electronically.
