TRICARE stays with you when you move. Moving stateside or to a different stateside region of the country determines which regional contractor you fall under. When you arrive at your new location, update your address, phone number and other personal information in the Defense Enrollment Eligibility Reporting System (DEERS). The process for transferring your enrollment depends on your plan. Once you have updated DEERS, visit the TRICARE website. Depending on your plan, you can find a doctor, manage prescriptions, book appointments and more. If you have an existing medical issue, then contact your current primary care manager or regional contractor before your move. Learn more about moving with TRICARE on the TRICARE website.
