Eligibility

TRICARE prescription drug coverage is available to all TRICARE-eligible beneficiaries who are enrolled in the Defense Enrollment Eligibility Reporting System (DEERS).  Prescription drug coverage is the same regardless of which health plan option you are using and it is available worldwide.

Eligible beneficiaries include:

  • Active duty service members and their families
  • Activated National Guard and Reserve Members and their families (on Title 10 or Title 32 [federal] orders)
  • Retired service members and their families
  • Retired National Guard and Reserve Members and their families (age 60 and above and receiving retired pay)
  • Survivors, widows/widowers and certain former spouses
  • Medal of Honor recipients and their families
  • Beneficiaries enrolled in TRICARE Reserve Select or the Continued Health Care Benefit Program
  • Other beneficiaries listed in DEERS as eligible for TRICARE, including foreign force members and their families

When updating DEERS with your personal information, be sure to update your address with a physical address.  If living outside of the United States, be sure to list your APO/FPO address, if you have one, as your mailing address.

If you turned 65 before April 1, 2001, you may participate in the pharmacy program without having Medicare Part B coverage, but if you turn 65 on or after April 1, 2001, you must have Medicare Part B coverage to use the pharmacy benefit.  Learn more ...
