This new edition of MOAA’s TRICARE Guide gives you details on how your earned health care benefit has you covered and the latest updates for making the most of it. That’s not all: We bring you the details on MOAA’s work to shield and protect your health care benefit from efforts to diminish it, so that it can shield and protect you.

 

In this guide, you will see what’s ahead for TRICARE For Life, the progress made toward resolving gaps in coverage, and how to handle disputes over your care. We guide you in transitioning from military to civilian status, show you the steps to plan for benefits changes when you turn 65, and more.

 

Below, find details on all manner of TRICARE topics, MOAA advocacy efforts on behalf of your earned benefits, and much more. Have a question we didn't cover? Reach out to our Member Support Center at msc@moaa.org or (800) 234-6622.
