You can transfer your TRICARE Prime coverage with your sponsor or you may have other options depending where you move.

Moving Within the Same TRICARE Region

• If you move to another Prime Service Area, simply change your primary care manager.
• If you move to a remote area:
  • Your sponsor may be able to transfer to TRICARE Prime Remote.
  • You must live with your sponsor to also transfer to TRICARE Prime Remote.
  • Your sponsor can transfer your enrollment at the same time they transfer their enrollment.
• You can transfer your enrollment to the Uniformed Services Family Health Plan or the TRICARE Prime Demo, if you move to an area where one of these plans is offered.
• If you decide not to transfer your TRICARE Prime enrollment, you can disenroll from TRICARE Prime and enroll in TRICARE Select anywhere in the U.S.

Moving to Another TRICARE Region

• Your sponsor can begin the enrollment transfer process for the entire family as soon as they get orders to move.
• You can transfer your enrollment to the Uniformed Services Family Health Plan or the TRICARE Prime Demo, if you move to an area where one of these plans is offered.
• If you decide not to transfer your TRICARE Prime enrollment, you can disenroll from TRICARE Prime and enroll in TRICARE Select.
• Are you moving overseas? You must be command-sponsored to enroll in TRICARE Prime Overseas or TRICARE Prime Remote Overseas. You can enroll in TRICARE Select Overseas if you aren’t command-sponsored.
