Changes to Your
TRICARE Reserve Select Coverage
|
When you experience a change in your family composition certain actions are necessary to ensure continuous TRICARE Reserve Select (TRS) coverage for all eligible family members.
Examples of changes in family composition include:
-
Marriage
-
Birth or adoption of child
-
Placement of a child in the legal custody of the National Guard or Reserve member by an order of the court
-
Divorce or annulment
-
Death of a spouse or family member
-
Last family member becomes ineligible (requires a change from TRS member-and-family to TRS member-only coverage)
To ensure there is no interruption to your TRS coverage, first, you must report the change in family composition as described in “Updating DEERS” in the Information and Assistance section.
Second, you must log on to the TRS Web application and follow the prompts for making changes to family composition. Print the TRS Request form from the TRS Web application, sign it, and send it to Humana Military. This form must be postmarked or received by Humana Military no later than 60 days from the date of the family change. The effective date of coverage is the date the family change occurred.
When a change is processed that alters the premium amount (e.g., a change from member-only to member-and-family coverage), the effective date of the premium change will be the date the family change occurred.
