TRICARE Prime, DEERS Updates Online

TRICARE’s new Beneficiary Web Enrollment (BWE) site allows TRICARE sponsors to simultaneously enroll in TRICARE Prime and update Defense Enrollment Eligibility Reporting System (DEERS) information anytime, from any Internet connection. Eligible retirees re-enrolling in TRICARE Prime can elect to pay the enrollment fee by credit card, bank transfer or have it automatically deducted as an allotment from their Uniformed Services retired pay.

BWE tutorials are available. To view a tutorial, click on the appropriate link below.

The new site is not just for new Prime beneficiaries. Those already enrolled in TRICARE Prime may also:

• Request a new primary care manager (PCM)
• Convert an active duty enrollment to a retiree enrollment up to 90 days before  your retirement

• Update personal information in DEERS to ensure smooth claims processing

Beneficiaries will still have the option to enroll in Prime at the TRICARE office located in the base hospital or clinic. Enrollment by mail is possible by submitting a DD Form 2876 (TRICARE Prime Enrollment Application and PCM Change Form), completed, signed and dated in blue or black ink, to:
