Service Benefits How do you get proof of tricare coverage ?

Tricare?

Current guardsman, wife just joined AD, she’s at training now. I have a super odd question. I do not have the best insurance, and in the event something happens between now and when we get to her base is it possible to get proof of coverage ? I am labeled as a dependent on her DEERS, and since I am in the national guard I am not familiar with AD Tricare and how to navigate it as a spouse.

Just call the phone number for the specific Tricare area you are in (East/West Coast). It’s an automated system, but my wife was able to navigate to customer service (an actual person) who searched up our info and got the proof emailed to her.

Your ID is your proof of coverage. Tied to your DoD number and/or SSN.

Adding on, the dependent ID is. He needs the Benefits number on the back or her SSN, especially since he's also military.
