Active Duty Service and Family Members
Active Duty Service Members
Am I Eligible?
To be eligible, you must be an active duty service member in the Army, Navy, Marine Corps, Air Force, Coast Guard, Public Health Service (USPHS), or National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA). Additionally, your Defense Enrollment Eligibility Reporting System (DEERS) information must be accurate and up to date. Regardless of your status, if your DEERS information is incorrect or outdated, you may not be considered eligible to enroll. Finally, you must live and work more than 50 miles (or approximately an hour’s drive) from the closest military treatment facility (MTF).
Do I Live and Work Far Enough from an MTF?
Are There Exceptions to the Eligibility Requirements?
If you live or work within 50 miles of an MTF, you will generally not be eligible for TPR. You may submit a TPR Determination of Eligibility Enrollment Request form if you believe geographic boundaries cause you to drive more than one hour to an MTF. The request must be directed through your unit commander to the TRICARE Regional Office (TRO) in your area. Visit online via the Beneficiary Web Enrollment Web Site to submit your request online.
How Do I Enroll?
TPR enrollment for active duty service members is mandatory, unless there is a service-specific requirement for MTF enrollment, or if you waive your access standards to enroll at an MTF. If you do not enroll in TPR, you must enroll in TRICARE Prime.
Complete and submit a TRICARE Prime Enrollment Application and PCM Change Form to Humana Military. Follow the instructions on the form or call Humana Military for guidance.
Active Duty Family Members
Am I Eligible?
To be eligible for TRICARE Prime Remote for Active Duty Family Members (TPRADFM), you must reside with your TPR-enrolled sponsor. A TPR-enrolled sponsor lives and works more than 50 miles (or approximately an hour’s drive) from the closest MTF. Additionally, your DEERS information must be accurate and up to date. Regardless of status, if your DEERS information is incorrect or outdated, you may not be considered eligible to enroll in TPRADFM.
Note: The DEERS address information listed for you and your sponsor is used to determine residency. If your sponsor is stationed in a remote location and you live with your sponsor, then you are eligible for TPRADFM, as long as your DEERS information is accurate.
Additionally, you remain eligible for TPRADFM even if your active duty sponsor receives unaccompanied permanent change of station orders as long as you continue to reside in the TPRADFM location where you enrolled. However, if you move from the location where you are enrolled or if your sponsor retires, you will lose TPRADFM coverage and will be eligible for TRICARE Standard and TRICARE Extra, or TRICARE Prime (where available).
How Can I Check My Eligibility?
Visit the TPR Web site and type in your sponsor’s residential and work ZIP codes to determine your sponsor’s TPR eligibility, or call Humana Military. If your sponsor is TPR eligible and you reside with your sponsor, you are also TPRADFM eligible, as long as your DEERS information is accurate.
Are There Exceptions to the Eligibility Requirements?
If you live within 50 miles of an MTF, you will generally not be eligible for TPRADFM. However, your sponsor may submit a TPR Determination of Eligibility Enrollment Request form if he or she believes geographic boundaries cause you to drive more than one hour to an MTF.
How Do I Enroll?
Your sponsor can include all eligible family members on his or her TRICARE Prime Enrollment Application and PCM Change Form. The enrollment application must be completed and submitted to Humana Military. Follow the instructions on the form or the guidance provided if you call Humana Military.
