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.

Dental Care

The dental clinic provides care to the installation's active-duty community only. Because of the overwhelming demand for dental care for the active-duty population, routine dental care cannot be provided for non-active-duty beneficiaries. Active-duty members are strongly encouraged to enroll their family members in the TRICARE Family Member Dental Plan (United Concordia) to ensure they get the dental care they are entitled to.

Call 360-257-2302 for active-duty routine appointments. Hours of operation are Monday through Friday, 7 a.m. to 3:45 p.m.  After-hours emergency dental care is provided by the WhidbeyHealth or Island Health emergency departments. Dental has sick call walk-in clinics Monday through Friday, 8:30 to 9:30 a.m. and 1 to 2 p.m.

Optometry

The optometry clinic provides routine eye exams to active-duty patients. Call the PSMAC at 800-404-4506 to make an appointment. Hours of operation are Monday through Friday, 7:30 a.m. to 4 p.m.  The office is closed for lunch from 11:45 a.m. to 12:45 p.m.
