Health Care Benefits Improve for Reserve

Week of August 27, 2007

A streamlined TRICARE Reserve Select (TRS) health care program launches Oct. 1, 2007. The revamped version is affordable and simpler, with one premium level instead of the current three-tier system. Monthly premiums are $81 for the servicemember and $253 for member and family coverage. TRS offers coverage comparable to TRICARE Standard and Extra. Members of the Selected Reserve can find out more about TRS and locate their TRICARE regional contractor contact information by entering their profile at the "My Benefits" portal at www.tricare.mil. National Guard and Reserve members can contact their Reserve Component points of contact if they have additional questions.
