How to Make Enrollment Changes Outside of TRICARE Open Season

In case you missed it, the annual TRICARE Open Season and the Federal Benefits Open Season ended on Dec. 9. The next open season will take place in the fall of 2020. If you didn’t enroll or make a change to your TRICARE health plan during open season, you must wait until the next open season unless you have a TRICARE Qualifying Life Event (QLE).
