TRICARE Prime beneficiaries can now pay annual enrollment fees electronically. Retirees can sign up to have the fees automatically withdrawn from their bank accounts via electronic funds transfer (EFT). All beneficiaries can download and complete an enrollment fee allotment authorization letter or EFT payment authorization from the Web site of their regional TRICARE provider, and submit them by mail to the provider. (Electronic submissions are not available). Once the requests are authorized, TRICARE will deduct the enrollment fees from retired pay or a bank account each month. Electronic fee payment does require beneficiaries to pay three months of fees in advance. TRICARE contractors will continue to accept payments by mail.
