U.S. Army Reserve

 
TRICARE Reserve Select
TRICARE Reserve Select is: 

• A premium-based plan

• Available worldwide

• For qualified Selected Reserve members and their families

If purchased, TRICARE Reserve Select meets or exceeds the requirements for minimum essential cover
age.

The Affordable Care Act requires you to maintain basic health care coverage—called minimum essential coverage.

If you don't have minimum essential coverage, you may have to pay a fee for each month you aren’t covered under the Affordable Care Act.

TRICARE Reserve Select is a great option for you and your family if you are:

• a member of the Selected Reserves

• not on active duty orders or covered by the Transitional Assistance Management Program, and

• not eligible for or enrolled in the FEHB.

The plan provides comprehensive health care coverage when you're not activated and covered by active duty TRICARE benefits and because you can see any provider, you don't have to change providers if you already have one.

Purchasing TRICARE Reserve Select is a two-step process that you must complete online.

Individual Ready Reserve (IRR) members including Navy Reserve Voluntary Training Units (VTU) don't qualify.
