When you move, TRICARE moves with you. No matter where you go in the world, TRICARE is there before, during and when you get to your next duty station.

There are steps you need to take to make sure changes to your TRICARE coverage go smoothly. Understand that when you move, you may have to use a different TRICARE option. Visit TRICARE Moving to learn more.

Before you move, you should take care of any routine medical needs, including immunizations, and fill your prescriptions so you have enough while traveling. If you need care during your move, visit TRICARE Getting Care When Traveling to learn what to do.

Filling prescriptions while traveling

You should refill prescriptions before traveling. But if you run out of a prescription drug while traveling, visit TRICARE Filling Prescriptions When Traveling.

Getting dental care while traveling

Getting dental care while traveling depends on your location and whether you are a service member or family member.

• If you are an active-duty service member within the United States or in U.S. territories, and near a military installation, you may be able to get emergency dental care at the dental treatment facility, or DTF, if available. If not, contact the TRICARE Active Duty Dental Care Program before you see a dentist and tell the contractor about your move. You will need to get an authorization before you see a dentist. The Active Duty Dental Care Program will work with you, so you can get care from a local network dentist.
• If you are an active-duty service member at an overseas location, call the TRICARE overseas regional call center to get authorization before you see a civilian dentist.
• If you are an active-duty family member within the United States, in U.S. territories or at an overseas location, you can find out if any nearby military dental treatment facility treats active-duty family members. If you're enrolled in the TRICARE dental program, call the TRICARE dental program contractor or visit their website to find a provider. You will need to get an authorization before you see the dentist.

With permanent change of station orders, ask for a copy of your medical and dental records from your military treatment facility and the dental treatment facility. Do this at least one month before your PCS date. The MTF should also transfer a copy of your record and any family records to your new duty station or you may be able to hand carry them to your new duty station.

If you want someone else to be able to get medical or dental information on you or your family while you are moving, you need to complete a DD Form 2870, "Authorization for Disclosure of Medical or Dental Information."

For more information on getting copies of medical records, visit TRICARE Request Copies of Medical Records.

Guam is limited in the health care services that are offered, which is why it is imperative that dependents receive and pass an overseas screening before arriving to Guam. Most military members and their families receive their health care at military treatment facilities unless referred to see a civilian doctor in town. Military medical clinics are located on Naval Base Guam and Andersen Air Force Base; both are limited to out-patient services.

Emergency services are provided at both clinics but are limited to what can be provided and the hours of operation. Ambulance service is provided 24 hours a day, seven days a week. Naval Base Guam, Branch Health Clinic Apra Harbor is located next to the NEX Gas Station. Hours of operation are Monday - Friday, 7 a.m. to 4 p.m. NBG Clinic is closed on weekends and holidays. Call 671-333-7118, for more information. The AAFB Clinic is located at Building 26001, Carolines Avenue. Hours of operation are Monday - Friday, 8 a.m.-4:30 p.m. AAFB Clinic is closed the second Wednesday of the month, weekends and holidays. Call 671-366-9355, for more information.

The military dental clinics serve the active duty only, but can be used by dependents on a case-by-case basis for a second opinion and/or temporary or emergency care. It is highly recommended that service members enroll family members into United Concordia dental insurance. Dependents are seen by civilian dentists in town. Prices for regular dental work are quite high, United Concordia will help offset the price by paying for most of the bill.
