Don't Miss Out: Last-Minute Open Season Tips for Tricare and More

TRICARE Open Season, which allows eligible individuals to enroll in or change their TRICARE health plan for 2024, ends on December 12. If the deadline is missed, individuals will have to wait until next year's open season or have a qualifying life event. It is important to review plan options, costs, and update family information in the Defense Enrollment Eligibility Reporting System (DEERS). Active duty service members and those with TRICARE For Life or premium-based plans are not eligible for open season. Dental and vision coverage can be changed through the Federal Employees Dental and Vision Insurance Program (FEDVIP). Missing the open season deadline can be remedied through a TRICARE Qualifying Life Event (QLE).
