TRICARE Supplement for Military Retirees

TRICARE Supplement Insurance wraps around your TRICARE coverage to help with the costs TRICARE leaves behind. Retired military people who have TRICARE Supplement insurance coverage can save on co-pays, prescriptions, and cost shares.

Eligibility in the TRICARE Supplement Plan includes the following:

  • Military retirees entitled to retired pay and their spouses/surviving spouses who are ineligible for Medicare and enrolled in TRICARE.
  • Retired Reservists and National Guardsmen between the ages of 60 and 65 with 20 years of creditable service and their spouses/surviving spouses who are not eligible for Medicare but are enrolled in TRICARE.

  • Military retirees and their spouses/surviving spouses who reside outside the U.S. or its territories (all who are eligible for Medicare must be in Medicare) and enrolled in TRICARE.
  • Military retirees and their spouses/surviving spouses age 65 or older but ineligible for Medicare (all must have received a Statement of Disallowance from Social Security Administration)
