Application/PCM Change Form, DD 

Form 2876, and TRICARE Prime

Needs and Uses: This information is 

collected in accordance with the 

National Defense Authorization Act for 

Fiscal Year 2001 (Pub. L. 106–398), 

section 723(b)(E). These collection 

instruments serve as applications for 

enrollment in the Primary Care Manager 

(PCM) Change and disenrollment from 

the Department of Defense’s TRICARE 

Prime programs established in 

accordance with Title 10 U.S.C. 1099 

(which calls for a healthcare enrollment 

system). Monthly payment options for 

retiree enrollment fees for TRICARE 

Prime are established in accordance 

with Title 10 U.S.C. 1097a(c). The 

information collected on the TRICARE 

Prime Enrollment Application/PCM 

Change form provides the necessary 

data to determine beneficiary eligibility, 

to identify the selection of a health care 

option, and to change the designated 

PCM when the beneficiary is relocating 

or merely requests a local PCM change. 

The information collected on the 

TRICARE Prime disenrollment form 

provides the necessary data to disenroll 

a beneficiary from TRICARE Prime. The 

disenrollment application is needed to 

implement disenrollment from 

TRICARE Prime, TRICARE Prime 

Remote or the Uniformed Services 

Family Health Plan as requested by the 

enrollee. Failure to provide information 

will result in continued enrollment and 

beneficiaries’ responsibility for payment 

of an enrollment fee. 

Affected Public: Individuals or 

households. 

Annual Burden Hours: 22,317. 

Number of Respondents: 72,905. 

Responses Per Respondent: 1. 

Average Burden Per Response: 

TRICARE Prime Enrollment 

Application/PCM Change Form: 20 

minutes or .33% of an hour/TRICARE 

Prime Disenrollment—5 minutes or 

.083% (average burden per response for 

completing both forms is 18.36 hours or 

.30% of an hour). 

Frequency: On occasion. 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Summary of Information Collection 

The Department of Defense 

established TRICARE Prime as a 

managed-care option, similar to a 

civilian HMO (health maintenance 

organization). Active duty service 

members are required to be enrolled in 

TRICARE Prime or TRICARE Prime 

Remote. They must take action to enroll 

by filling out the appropriate enrollment 

form and submitting it to the Managed 

Care Support Contractor (MCSC). 

TRICARE Prime is also available to 

other TRICARE beneficiaries who are 

also required to fill out the appropriate 

enrollment or disenrollment forms. 

TRICARE Prime enrollee’s health care is 

coordinated by a primary care manager 

(PCM) whom could be a part of a 

military treatment facility, a civilian 

network or TRICARE Prime Remote 

where eligible. In order to carry out this 

program, it is necessary that certain 

beneficiaries electing to enroll/disenroll 

in TRICARE Prime, TRICARE Prime 

Remote or change a PCM complete an 

enrollment application request. 

Completion of the enrollment form is an 

essential element of the TRICARE Prime 

program.
