Frequently Asked Questions

I’m an active duty service member on terminal leave. How do I get care?

Your TRICARE Prime or TRICARE Prime Remote enrollment at your current duty station doesn’t change.

If you don’t move while on terminal leave:

• You must still get a referral from your primary care manager before you get any nonemergency medical or dental care.

If you move while on terminal leave:

• You must stay enrolled in TRICARE Prime at your original duty station.
• You can get care at any military hospital or clinic. Contact your PCM for referrals before getting nonemergency care. For example, if your current duty station is in Virginia, but you move to Montana while on terminal leave, you must contact your PCM in Virginia if you need nonemergency care.
