As soon as your information is entered into DEERS you are automatically enrolled into Tricare Standard. With Standard there is a yearly deductible and co-pay for each visit. you must go to a approved provider. You can go to the Tricare website to find out who is available in your area.
When you get paperwork in the mail around week 4, it is will have a Form DD1172 in it and you can get your ID card. Once you have your ID card you can change to Prime.How long will it be before my kids and i get entered into deers so we can start getting medical coverage?
Hubby should take care of this within the first week after he gets to BCT.
You will automatically be entered into Tricare Standard once hubby finishes all the paperwork. You won't need any card, all you have to do is find out which providers take Tricare Standard and just give them Hubby's Social Security Number. Learn this number by heart, you will need to use it more than you think you will.
Good luck and welcome to the life of an Army Wife.
Your husband will be getting it done while at reception prior to starting basic. Soon after that you will get a packet in the mail.
He has to show paperwork and all that to them there...I guess they would enter the info there...
Once he gets to AIT. He has to graduate basic training first.
