TRICARE Retired Reserve
TRICARE Retired Reserve (TRR) is a premium-based, worldwide health plan that qualified retired Reserve members and survivors may purchase. TRR offers comprehensive health coverage from any TRICARE-authorized provider or hospital.
Purchasing TRR is a two-step process that you must complete online.
Step 1: Qualify
- Log on to the DMDC Reserve Component Purchased TRICARE Application
- Select "Purchase Coverage" and follow the instructions.
- Print and sign the completed Reserve Component Health Coverage Request Form (DD Form 2896-1).
To log into the DMDC Reserve Component Purchased TRICARE Application, you must have one of the following:
- Common Access Card (CAC)
- DFAS (MyPay) Account
- DoD Self-Service Logon (DS Logon) Premium (Level 2) account.
The DS Logon Premium (Level 2) account is given to a user who has registered using their CAC, DFAS myPay Login ID, or has a DS Logon Basic Account. Click here to sign up or view information regarding a DS Logon.
If you do not qualify, you will not be able to complete or print the form. Please contact your National Guard or Reserve personnel office for assistance. If you experience a technical problem, call 1-800-477-8227 for assistance.
Step 2: Purchase
You may purchase the plan at any time throughout the year. Mail or fax your completed Reserve Component Health Coverage Request Form (DD Form 2896-1) along with the initial premium payment (equal to two months) to your regional contractor within the specified deadline.
After the initial payment, your premium payment is due no later than the last day of the month for the next month's coverage. If you miss a payment due dates, your coverage will be terminated due to nonpayment. When this occurs, a 12-month purchase lockout will go into effect. >>Learn More about Monthly Premium Payments
