JOIN TWO TRICARE EVENTS: OCT. 24 AND OCT. 31

1. TRICARE Webinar: “Prepare Now for TRICARE Open Season and Federal Benefits Open Season”

Open season for TRICARE beneficiaries is from Nov. 11 to Dec. 9. But does open season apply to you? This webinar will discuss TRICARE Open Season and Federal Benefits Open Season. Join us for a presentation and Q&A session and learn about your 2020 health care, dental, and vision coverage options.

2. TRICARE SITREP

The TRICARE SITREP is a live Q&A session hosted on the TRICARE Facebook page. Here’s how it works:

  • Go to facebook/TRICARE on Oct. 31.
  • We’ll post an introductory video at 3 p.m. announcing that we’re about to begin.
  • Ask your question as a comment to that introductory post.
  • We’ll answer your questions live during the event.
  • Questions are answered in the order they’re posted.

Remember to stay on topic so everyone’s questions can be addressed. We’ll answer questions specific to your scenario, but please don’t share your health information since it’s a public forum. This is your opportunity to ask questions about the TRICARE and FEDVIP open seasons.

If you have friends and family who may have questions about open season, please help us spread the word about the TRICARE Webinar (Oct. 24) and TRICARE SITREP (Oct. 31).


WHAT IS TRICARE OPEN SEASON AND WHY DOES IT MATTER?

TRICARE Open Season is the annual period when you can enroll in or make changes to your TRICARE Prime, including US Family Health Plan, or TRICARE Select plan for the next year.

 

The Federal Benefits Open Season is for enrollment in a Federal Employees Dental and Vision Insurance Program (FEDVIP) dental and vision plan. If you’re currently enrolled in a FEDVIP dental or vision plan and you don’t want to make a change, your enrollment will continue in 2020. If you wish to make changes to your existing plan, you must do so during open season. Both the TRICARE and FEDVIP open seasons will run from Nov. 11 to Dec. 9. Enrollment choices made during this period will take effect on Jan. 1, 2020.


PLEASE NOTE:

  • TRICARE and FEDVIP each have an open season for enrollment.
  • While the open season dates are the same, there are two separate actions for changing your TRICARE health plan or a FEDVIP dental or vision plan.
  • If you don’t take action to switch your TRICARE health plan or enroll in a FEDVIP dental or vision plan during open season, you can only make a change or enroll in a plan after a Qualifying Life Event—such as marriage, birth of a child, change of address, or retiring.
