Out-of-Pocket Costs

Is TRICARE Standard Overseas Right for You?
TRICARE Standard Overseas may be your only option when you live overseas. If you're an active duty family member, you'll save money and have priority for care if you enroll in either TRICARE Prime Overseas or TRICARE Prime Remote Overseas. Be sure to get command-sponsored so you have the option.
