Many military families plan permanent change of station (PCS) moves during the summer. For customized information about moving with TRICARE, visit the benefit information portal at the TRICARE website and select status, country, zip code and TRICARE plan. Here are some tips: (1) investigate TRICARE options in your new location prior to a PCS; (2) refill prescriptions and obtain routine medical care before the move if possible; (3) download, print and keep handy "Traveling with TRICARE Prime" flyer; and (4) active duty servicemembers need to coordinate their Prime or Prime Remote enrollment with their new duty station.
