As young adults reach major milestones, their TRICARE health coverage options may change. Understanding those options early can help you make confident decisions about future care.
In this video, we break down TRICARE Young Adult coverage, including who’s eligible, how long dependent coverage lasts, and the key differences between TYA-Prime and TYA-Select.
You’ll learn:
- How long young adults can stay on their parent’s TRICARE plan
- When and how TRICARE Young Adult coverage applies
- Eligibility requirements for TYA
- The differences between TYA-Prime and TYA-Select
- What happens when TYA coverage ends at age 26
Important reminder: Keep your information up to date in DEERS to avoid gaps in coverage.
