TRICARE offers several resources to make sure you and your family members have access to health care when you lose your TRICARE eligibility. Sponsors and eligible family members may be covered by the Transitional Assistance Management Program (TAMP), which provides 180 days of premium-free transitional health care benefits after regular TRICARE benefits end. Active duty servicemembers with certain service-related conditions are eligible for Transitional Care for Service-Related Conditions (TCSRC). The Continued Health Care Benefit Program (CHCBP) is purchased coverage that acts as a bridge between TRICARE coverage and your new health coverage. It is typically limited to 36 months. Another option for health care coverage is the Health Insurance Marketplace at www.healthcare.gov.
