TRICARE Contract Transition| Information for Patients: About TRICAREFALLS CHURCH, Va. - Do you currently live in the West Region? Or, do you live in one of the six states (Arkansas, Illinois, Louisiana, Oklahoma, Texas, Wisconsin) moving to the West Region in 2025 as part of TRICARE's new regional contracts? If you pay for your TRICARE coverage via credit card or bank electronic funds transfer, you can now securely give your recurring payment information to the incoming West Region contractor, TriWest Healthcare Alliance.
"It's quick and easy to give TriWest your recurring payment information online," said Lina Blas, enrollment analyst, TRICARE Health Plan, at the Defense Health Agency. "Adding your payment method now will help make sure you don't lose health coverage in 2025."
In the coming days, you may get an email or letter from TriWest. This message will let you know that you can set up your payment information online or download a printable Automatic Payment Authorization Form for mailing to provide your recurring payment information.
TriWest will not charge your recurring payment method before Jan. 1, 2025. But it will need to have your payment information on file before Dec. 31. Your recurring payment information won't automatically transfer from Health Net Federal Services, LLC or Humana Military.
If you don't provide TriWest with payment information before Jan. 1, you may be involuntarily disenrolled from TRICARE and lose your health coverage.
Don't cancel your current recurring payment method after you've set up your new payments with TriWest. If you live in the West Region on Jan. 1, HNFS and Humana Military will stop collecting payments after your December payment.
