[vc_row][vc_column width=”2/3″ el_class=”section section1″][vc_column_text]In the coming months, service members and retirees face some important decisions when it comes to their healthcare coverage for 2019. Open season is right around the corner (November 12 – December 10), and during this time most beneficiaries can choose which TRICARE plan they would like to participate in. A TRICARE plan won’t need to be selected by anyone who is an active-duty or reserve-component service member as their coverage is already included unless they are nearing retirement. However, active-duty family members and retirees have the option to change their TRICARE plans if desired.
The FEDVIP vision plan is not included for active-duty service members as they do not qualify. If reserve-component members, family members, and/or retirees would like to enroll in vision coverage, then they will need to make this choice during this year’s open season.
