I’m a retired reserve member turning 60. How do I enroll in a TRICARE plan?

 

At age 60, you and your family become eligible for the same TRICARE benefits as retired service members. You must apply for retired pay at age 60 to enroll. Turning 60 after retiring from the National Guard or Reserve is a Qualifying Life Event. You have 90 days from the day you turn 60 to enroll in a TRICARE plan. You may enroll in TRICARE Prime (if available where you live), TRICARE Select, TRICARE Select Overseas, or US Family Health Plan (if available where you live). 

You have 3 options to enroll: 

1. Online
2. Phone
3. Mail

If you have Medicare Part A and Part B, you will automatically get TRICARE For Life coverage.
