TRICARE Site 'Prompts' Password Change

TRICARE4U "Prompts" Users to Change Passwords

FALLS CHURCH, Va. – Beneficiaries who haven't logged on to their TRICARE4U account recently shouldn't worry if they are prompted to change their password the next time they visit the site.

The requirement to change passwords is due to recent system upgrade, and all registered TRICARE4U users - beneficiaries, providers and government users - will receive the automatic prompt.

To start the password change process simply sign-in at http://www.tricare4u.com with the username and the latest password. Beneficiaries should select "update security information" on their personal profile page; providers should select "update my account" on their homepage and then "update security information;" government users should select "update security" in the left hand navigation of their homepage.

New pass words must contain at least one uppercase letter, one lowercase letter, one number, one special symbol and be at least eight characters in length.

TRICARE4u.com is the online resource for TRICARE For Life and Overseas beneficiaries and providers. The Web site allows both the beneficiary and provider to view claim status, their explanation of benefits, contact customer service in a secure environment and view patient eligibility.
