TRICARE Prime coverage is portable—you can easily transfer your TRICARE Prime enrollment when you move within the TRICARE South region or to a new TRICARE region. Follow these simple steps to ensure you have no break in coverage when you move.

1. Do not disenroll from TRICARE Prime before you move to your new location.
2. Once you arrive at your new location, update DEERS immediately.
3. Select a new PCM or transfer your TRICARE Prime enrollment within 30 days of arriving at your new location.

If you move to another TRICARE Prime service area (PSA) in the same TRICARE region, contact Humana Military—you will only need to change your PCM.

If you move to a TRICARE PSA in another TRICARE region, contact the new regional contractor to transfer your enrollment. The enrollment transfer is effective when your new enrollment application is received by your new regional contractor.

If you move to an area where TRICARE Prime is not available (same or new region):

• Active duty service members: Transfer your enrollment to TRICARE Prime Remote (TPR) by submitting a new enrollment form. The enrollment transfer is effective when Humana Military receives your form.
• Active duty family members: If you live with your TPR-enrolled sponsor, your enrollment will transfer to TRICARE Prime Remote for Active Duty Family Members (TPRADFM). Your sponsor can include you on his or her enrollment form. Or, you can disenroll from TRICARE Prime and you are automatically covered by TRICARE Standard and TRICARE Extra as long as your DEERS information stays current.
• Retired service members, their families, and all other TRICARE Prime enrollees: You must disenroll from TRICARE Prime and you are covered automatically by TRICARE Standard and TRICARE Extra as long as your DEERS information is current. If you do not disenroll, you will be utilizing the POS option.

Active duty service members and their families may transfer TRICARE Prime enrollment as often as needed. Retired service members, their family members, survivors, eligible former spouses, and others are limited to two enrollment transfers each enrollment year, as long as the second transfer is back to the original region of enrollment.

If you are moving overseas, contact the appropriate overseas TAO in advance of the move to determine TRICARE Overseas Program (TOP) Prime eligibility requirements. Retirees and their family members are not eligible for any TOP Prime options. See Figure 5.4 for TAO contact information.
