Maintain your health care coverage when moving. If you have TRICARE Prime, you may transfer your enrollment by phone, online, or by mail. Follow these steps: (1) fill prescriptions; (2) take your current primary care manager's contact information with you; and (3) if have the Extended Health Care Option Program (ECHO), let your current regional contractor know. The contractor will coordinate the transfer of ECHO care to your new primary care manager. Once you arrive at your new duty station or location, update and verify your new address, phone number or other personal information in DEERS. To find a doctor, compare plans, manage prescriptions and book appointments visit the TRICARE website.
