Join Sept. 24 Webinar on TRICARE After Retirement
9/14/2020
Will you or a family member be retiring soon? Do you have questions about
how your TRICARE coverage may change for you and your family as a retiree?
Join the " <https://attendee.gotowebinar.com/register/2710446105236090125>
How Do I Keep TRICARE Coverage After Retirement?" webinar on Sept. 24, from
1 to 2 p.m. ET to get your questions answered.
When you <https://www.tricare.mil/LifeEvents/Retiring> retire from active
duty or <https://www.tricare.mil/LifeEvents/Retiring/GuardReserve> retire
from the National Guard or Reserve, your TRICARE coverage changes. This
webinar will cover retiree health, dental, and vision plan options. It will
also cover the actions you need to take to make sure you don't have a break
in coverage. The Chief of the Policy and Programs Section for the TRICARE
Health Plan, Mark Ellis, will present and lead a Q&A after the presentation.
"When you retire, you and your family experience a
<https://www.tricare.mil/lifeevents> TRICARE Qualifying Life Event," said
Ellis. "If you don't want to have a gap in your TRICARE coverage after
retirement, you must take action and enroll in a TRICARE health plan as a
retiree."
Continuing TRICARE health coverage isn't automatic after you retire. As
described in the <https://www.tricare.mil/publications> TRICARE Retiring
from Active Duty Brochure, you need to enroll in an eligible plan within 90
days of your retirement date. Until you enroll in a TRICARE plan as a
retiree, you'll only be eligible for care at a military hospital or clinic
if space is available. You can check out the brochure to learn more about
your transition from active duty to retirement.
Are you retiring from the National Guard or Reserve? As outlined in the
<https://www.tricare.mil/publications> TRICARE Retiring from the National
Guard or Reserve Brochure, you may be eligible for several
<https://www.tricare.mil/Plans/HealthPlans> TRICARE health plans depending
on your age, retiree status, and location. As a retired Reserve member, you
have different TRICARE options available to you before you turn age 60 and
once you turn age 60. Check out the brochure for information on how your
options change as you age after retirement.
Understanding your TRICARE options before you retire will help you and your
family make the best health care decisions later. Don't miss the
