TRICARE is shifting medical insurance coverage for retirees, active duty and their families in six states.

Those living in Arkansas, Illinois, Louisiana, Oklahoma, Texas and Wisconsin will transfer from the program’s East region to the West Region.

If you live in one of these six states, your TRICARE regional contractor will switch from Humana Military to TriWest Healthcare Alliance on Jan. 1, 2025. This change will affect about 1.1 million eligible beneficiaries.

If your state is switching regions, Humana Military will continue as your TRICARE contractor until Dec. 31, 2024. Before then, you should check your DEERS account to confirm that all your information is up to date.
