SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: A final 

rule published in the Federal Register 

(FR) on February 15, 2019, (84 FR 4326– 

4333) that established the requirement 

for the Director, Defense Health Agency 

(DHA), to provide public notice to 

Military Health System (MHS) 

beneficiaries each calendar year in 

connection with the annual open season 

enrollment period with a summary of 

changes to the TRICARE program. The 

following changes or improvements to 

the TRICARE program benefits apply for 

CY 2024. 

Announcement of Open Season 

Open Season is an annual period 

when beneficiaries can enroll in or 

make changes to their healthcare, 

dental, and vision coverage for the next 

calendar year. 

During the TRICARE Open Season 

that runs from November 13, 2023, 

through December 12, 2023, qualified 

MHS beneficiaries may enroll in or 

change their TRICARE Prime or 

TRICARE Select plan. 

During the Federal Employee Dental 

and Vision Insurance Program (FEDVIP) 

Open Season that runs from November 

13, 2023, through December 11, 2023, 

qualified MHS beneficiaries, including 

TRICARE for Life beneficiaries, may 

enroll in or make changes to their dental 

and vision plans. FEDVIP is operated by 

the U.S. Office of Personnel 

Management. 

Any changes MHS beneficiaries make 

during Open Season will take effect on 

January 1, 2024. If a beneficiary remains 

eligible and does not make any changes 

during Open Season, then their coverage 

will stay the same for 2024. TRICARE 

enrollees can ensure they receive 

important health plan information by 

promptly listing any change in address 

and other information in the Defense 

Enrollment Eligibility Reporting System 

(DEERS). 

Annual Announcements 

The following TRICARE program 

features are subject to a year-to-year 

determination and are announced each 

year prior to the annual TRICARE Open 

Season. 

Urgent Care Visits: There continues to 

be no limit to the number of urgent care 

visits a covered beneficiary enrolled in 

TRICARE Prime may receive without a 

referral for Plan Year 2024. They may 

receive urgent care from any TRICAREauthorized urgent care center (UCC), 

either network or non-network, without 

a referral. They may also receive urgent 

care from any TRICARE network 

provider. If the TRICARE Prime enrollee 

seeks care from a non-network TRICARE 

authorized provider (outside of a 

TRICARE-authorized UCC), the usual 

TRICARE Prime Point of Service (POS) 

deductible and cost-shares shall apply. 

Private Sector care for Active Duty 

Service Members is subject to different 

rules. Covered beneficiaries who want 

assistance on decisions to seek urgent 

care in the United States (U.S.), except 

those enrolled in the Uniformed 

Services Family Health Plan (USFHP), 

may call the MHS Nurse Advice Line 

(NAL) for health care guidance from a 

specially trained registered nurse. The 

NAL is available 24/7 to all non-USFHP 

TRICARE beneficiaries. Beneficiaries 

who live overseas can call the NAL for 

health care advice when traveling in the 

U.S. but must coordinate care with their 

Overseas Regional Call Center. For 

additional information, call the 

servicing TRICARE contractor or visit 

https://www.tricare.mil/ContactUs and 

click on ‘‘MHS Nurse Advice Line.’’ 

Prime Service Area Changes: Prime 

Service Areas (PSAs) are geographic 

areas around military medical treatment 

facilities and Base Realignment and 

Closure sites. PSAs support the medical 

readiness of active duty members of the 

Uniformed Services by adding to the 

capability and capacity of military 

hospitals and clinics. There are no 

changes to the existing PSAs for CY 

2024.
