TRICARE Reserve Select (TRS) is a premium-based health plan that qualified National Guard and Reserve members may purchase. TRS, which requires a monthly premium, offers coverage similar to TRICARE Standard and Extra.

Key features of TRS include:

• Available worldwide to most Selected Reserve members (and families) when not on active duty orders or covered under the Transitional Assistance Management Program.
• Must qualify for and purchase TRS to participate.
• Must pay monthly premiums. Failure to pay monthly premiums on time may result in disenrollment and an enrollment lockout.
• Freedom to manage your own health care; no assigned primary care manager.
  • Visit any TRICARE-authorized provider or qualified host nation provider (if located overseas).
  • Pay fewer out-of-pocket costs when choosing a provider in the TRICARE network.
  • Network providers not available overseas.
• No referrals are required, but some care may require prior authorization.
• May have to pay for services when they are received and then seek reimbursement.
• May have to submit health care claims.
• May receive care in a military treatment facility (MTF) on a space-available basis only.
• Offers comprehensive health care coverage including TRICARE's prescription drug coverage.
