| DEFENSE ENROLLMENT ELIGIBILITY REPORTING SYSTEM (DEERS) |
Tricare officials point out that the Military Health System requires all eligible beneficiaries to have a current ID card in order to receive health care. Also, beneficiaries are reminded that their personal information must be current in the Defense Enrollment Eligibility Reporting System (DEERS).
Changes to sponsor's status, home address and family status (marriage, divorce, birth and adoption) are examples of information that needs to be properly maintained in DEERS.
The DEERS Support Office can be reached by telephone at 1-800-538-9552, or information can be found online at www.tricare.osd.mil/DEERS. https://www.dmdc.osd.mil/appj/address/indexAction.do
