View Full Version : Tricare Payment
Anyone know if there is a way to pay your premium on line. I searched all their sites. I cant even find the right number to call. Evey number or link is for making claims, Pharmacy, referals...etc. Nothing for just paying up.

You can pay by draft from your retired pay, draft from a bank account, credit card, money order, or check.

The payment options are at the end of the form.
One time payments here:

If you have the time, you can do everything at the Tricare desk next to the ER at Womack. Mine's coming straight out of the retired pay, well worth it for peace of mind.
I pay once a year on credit card (the cash back through the card is nice).

Check to see if you need a username/password before you can pay online. I recall going through that when I did it last year and it isn't an instant-to-the-email deal so it takes a couple days. Hopefully that has changed.

That did it. I am overseas and all I needed was a one time payment. I submitted for Auto Withdrawl but for some reason it didn't take my money. Lucky my wife opened that letter back home. We were about to get cut off.
Appreciate the help. Come thru every time.

That has happened to us several times, especially when starting or changing payment methods.
I think that Tricare is not quite ready for prime time, especially in their customer unfriendly payment options.
