FALLS CHURCH, Va. – TRICARE beneficiaries living overseas should keep an eye on their mailbox for critical information about how the new TRICARE Overseas Program contract affects them. To make sure this information finds its way into the right mailbox, beneficiaries living abroad need to update their Defense Enrollment Eligibility Reporting System (DEERS) records – especially their mailing address – as soon as possible.
Contact information can be updated in DEERS in several ways including in person at a military ID card issuing facility, online and by phone, fax or mail. To verify or update an address, overseas beneficiaries can do it:
• In person, find the nearest ID card office at www.dmdc.osd.mil/rsl/owa/home
• Online at www.dmdc.osd.mil/appj/address/index.jsp
• By phone at 1-800-538-9552 (1-866-363-2883 TTY/TDD)
• By faxing at 1-831-655-8317;
• Mail address changes to:
