TRICARE YOUNG ADULT Military dependents concerned about health care coverage may be eligible for TRICARE Young Adult (TYA). Based on the sponsor’s status and dependent’s geographic location, TYA Prime or TYA Select coverage includes medical and pharmacy benefits, but excludes dental coverage. For details on this option for unmarried, young adult dependents aged out of regular TRICARE coverage at age 21 (or up to age 23 if enrolled in college), visit Tricare.mil/Plans/Enroll/TYA. The Continued Health Care Benefit Program also provides temporary health coverage for 18-36 months when you lose eligibility for TRICARE. HOW TO ENROLL Three options for new enrollments into TRICARE plans are also applicable for TRICARE Open Season enrollments and Qualifying Life Event enrollments.
