Moving Within the Same TRICARE Region

• If you move to a Prime Service Area, your coverage will transfer to TRICARE Prime when your PCM change is effective

Moving to another TRICARE Region

You can begin your enrollment transfer before you move. To start the process, call your new contractor as soon as you know you’re moving.
