INSTRUCTIONS

This form is for eligible beneficiaries who want to enroll in TRICARE Plus. TRICARE Plus is an enrollment option for TRICARE
beneficiaries who want an affiliation with a primary care provider at a Military Treatment Facility (MTF) and are either ineligible
for TRICARE Prime or prefer a more limited relationship (primary care only). Enrollment in TRICARE Plus does not guarantee
access to services at the MTF, however, if you are accepted for enrollment you will be assigned to a primary care provider at
the MTF. The MTF will make every effort to provide complete and comprehensive primary care services within access
standards. Beneficiaries enrolled into TRICARE Plus agree to rely on their MTF primary care provider for all their nonemergency primary care.
GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS:
1. Print all information in ink. Make sure the information is complete and accurate.
2. Ensure personal information matches information in the Defense Enrollment Eligibility Reporting System (DEERS). To
check your DEERS information, call the Defense Manpower Data Center Support Office at 1-800-538-9552 or you can log
