Joint Base Langley-Eustis
Being able to use TRICARE depends on you keeping your information up to date in the Defense Enrollment Eligibility Reporting System (DEERS). TRICARE eligibility shows up in DEERS based on the sponsor’s status. It is essential to keep your DEERS record up to date to get timely and effective TRICARE benefits.
When to Update DEERS?
Active-duty service members are automatically registered in DEERS when they join the military, however, service members must add their eligible family members in DEERS. You should update DEERS anytime you experience a qualifying life event (QLE). A QLE can include marriage, divorce, birth or adoption, or retirement from active duty. A QLE opens a 90-day period for you to make eligible enrollment changes. A qualifying life event for one family member means all family members may make enrollment changes. Make sure to check that your address, duty status, phone numbers and email addresses are correct. If you don’t, you may miss important information and enrollment deadlines.
National Guard or Army Reserve
TRICARE coverage is based on your military status. When your status changes so does your coverage. Your spouse and children are covered by TRICARE when you’re covered. They must be registered in DEERS as your dependents. If you are:
How to Update DEERS?

Transfer of Enrollment or Primary Care Manager Change
If you are relocating to another military treatment facility or to another state, once you arrive you will need to contact your managed care support contractor to have your enrollment transferred.
Once your enrollment has been transferred to your new location you will be assigned a primary care manager. Your TRICARE eligibility does not change when you move, but it may change your health plan options.
Urgent Care
Urgent care is care needed for non-emergency illness or injury. You typically need urgent care to treat a condition that:
Active-duty service members should seek care at a military treatment facility when and where available or contact the Nurse Advice Line for assistance. Service members must have a referral prior to being seen at an urgent care facility. Active-duty family members can get urgent care from any TRICARE authorized urgent care center without a referral.
Emergency Care
Call 911 or go to the nearest emergency department.
What’s an Emergency?
A medical emergency is defined as a sudden and unexpected onset of a medical condition that:
Call the Nurse Advice Line at 1-800-TRICARE or 874-2273, Option 1. Through the Nurse Advice Line, you can:
Specialty Care
Under some TRICARE programs, you may need a referral or prior authorization from your PCM to seek care from a specialty provider. A referral is when your primary care manager or provider sends you to another provider for care. You may also need pre-approval, or prior authorization, for coverage of certain care. Prior authorization is a review of a requested health care service by your regional contractor to see if TRICARE will cover it.
Note: To schedule appointments with your PCM, please contact the Hampton Roads Appointment Center at 866-645-4584.
