Does TRICARE cover my family while I'm active?
Your family becomes eligible for TRICARE Standard and TRICARE Prime on your first day of active duty on tours of more than 30 days. With TRICARE Standard, your family can receive care at the Military Treatment Facility (MTF) on a space-available basis. If family members use civilian doctors, they will pay only their TRICARE Standard cost-shares. By using TRICARE network doctors, your family will pay even less out-of-pocket.
With TRICARE Prime, there are no enrollment fees for family members of reservists on active duty status. As Prime members, they can use the MTF or choose a TRICARE network Primary Care Manager (PCM).
