We know keeping your coverage with TRICARE is a top priority. Paying your enrollment fees or premiums with an electronic method will keep you enrolled and covered. Two methods—allotment and electric funds transfer (EFT)—are the safest, no-hassle ways to pay your premium.

Here are your options for secure payment based your TRICARE plan:

  • TRICARE Prime and TRICARE Select: You must pay by allotment, unless there’s no retired or retainer pay, such as for 100% disabled veterans, un-remarried former spouses, and survivors. When allotment isn’t possible, you may choose to pay through EFT or recurring credit/debit card payments.
  • TRICARE Reserve Select, TRICARE Retired Select, and TRICARE Young Adult: Choose to make EFT or recurring credit/debit card payments.

There are advantages of paying through allotment or EFT. You don’t have to worry about updating your information if you credit card expires or if you lose your card. You also avoid the risk of being disenrolled because of failing to pay.

Set up allotment payments or EFT payments as your payment method today.
