You\u2019ll have to do it by phone or by mail, because a glitch has shut down your online option \u2014 likely for the rest of open enrollment season.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">And if you thought you\u2019ve made a switch during this open enrollment season that began Nov. 11, you\u2019d better call your Tricare regional contractor to make sure your new plan start date is Jan. 1, 2020, according to Tricare officials \u2014 so you don\u2019t have a gap in coverage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cWe are not certain how many individuals were able to complete actions to change plans when they went online,\u201d Tricare officials said in a response to questions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">There is no telling right now how many beneficiaries may be affected by this glitch.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Open enrollment ends on Dec. 9. It\u2019s the annual period when beneficiaries can change between their Tricare Prime Option or Tricare Select health plan. This is the only time of the year that beneficiaries can change plans, other than because of a qualifying life event, such as marriage, retirement from active duty, or birth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Those who want to stay in their current Tricare health care plan don\u2019t have to take any action.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The web enrollment will likely remain unavailable throughout the open season for beneficiaries who want to change plans, according to Tricare officials. However, it will be available for new enrollments, such as those retiring from active duty, and those who have a qualifying life event.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Officials learned about the problem as a result of comments on their social media channels; they are investigating the causes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In the absence of the online option, here\u2019s how you can make changes in the enrollment::<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><b>By phone<\/b><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Call your regional contractor:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">*Health Net Federal Services (Tricare West): 1-844-866-9378<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">*Humana Military (Tricare East): 1-800-444-5445<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">*Visit a Tricare Service Center or contact International SOS (Overseas only)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><b>By Mail<\/b><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Mail an enrollment form.

For retirees, Tricare Prime requires an annual enrollment fee as well as co-payments for appointments and procedures other than those at a military treatment facility.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Tricare Select for most beneficiaries requires no enrollment fee but has a higher fee structure. It allows beneficiaries to select their own physicians and see specialists largely without a referral.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Beneficiaries can compare options on the <a href=\"https:\/\/tricare.mil\/Plans\/ComparePlans\" target=_blank>Tricare website<\/a>. (It\u2019s the enrollment function of the site that\u2019s not currently working.)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><i>Military Times Health Care Reporter Patricia Kime contributed to this report.<\/i><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Thought you changed your Tricare plan online?
