Tricare and FEDVIP Open Seasons: When to Enroll and What You Can Do
BLUF – Military.com explains that TRICARE Open Season allows eligible military families and retirees to enroll in or switch between TRICARE Prime and Select, while the separate Federal Employees Dental and Vision Insurance Program (FEDVIP) open season permits eligible beneficiaries to enroll in or modify dental and vision coverage; outside these periods, changes generally require a qualifying life event. For Navy Medicine, the annual enrollment period provides an important opportunity to educate beneficiaries about coverage options, provider networks and continuity of care, particularly for families facing specialty-care access challenges or transitioning to retirement.
