Can I been seen at an MTF before I get my miltary id?

Question

My hubby is in BCT right now. He called home and said he finished all of our paperwork but was unsure of when he would be able to mail home our documents and form dd1172. I already confirmed our enrollment into DEERS< and I submitted enrollment forms for Tricare Prime today. My coverage starts 9/1, but I don;t think I;ll be able to get my id before then because he probably won't be able to mail those papers home. Tricare rep told me they will have a Tricare card to me by the end of this month. Can I get seen by my PCM without my military id?

Answer 1

You can try your luck, but as long as you have your hubby&#039;s SSN and your TRICARE Enrollment Card, you should be ok.  They usually will ask you for the Sponsor&#039;s SSN (your hubby&#039;s) and your ID card.  Simply explain to them that your DEERS enrollment has been completed but you weren&#039;t able to be present when he did it.  More than likely, they&#039;ll ask to see any ID.  Make sure your name is the same as it appears on your TRICARE Card.
