Transitional Care for Service-Related Conditions (TRICARE):  

The Transitional Care for Service-Related Conditions (TCSRC) Program extends TRICARE coverage to former active duty, Guard, and Reserve members for certain service-related conditions beyond their regular 180-day TAMP coverage period. The benefit is available worldwide.

 

Eligibility for TSCRC

If you are eligible for care under TAMP and have a newly diagnosed medical condition that is related to your active-duty service, you may qualify for an additional 180 days of care for your specified service-related condition. To qualify for TCSRC, your medical condition must be:

1. Service-related
2. Newly discovered/diagnosed during the 180-day TAMP period
3. Able to be resolved within 180 days
4. Validated by a DoD physician.

 

Once the DoD validates your medical condition, your TCSRC coverage is reflected in the Defense Enrollment Eligibility Reporting System (DEERS).
