TRICARE has recently expanded its hearing aid coverage to include eligible children of retired service members. This new coverage results from a new statute. It aims to improve access to life-changing medical technology and help eligible children of retired service members get the hearing aids they need.

TRICARE Open Season is Nov. 11–Dec. 10, 2024. Open season applies to you if you're enrolled in or eligible for TRICARE Prime, the US Family Health Plan, or TRICARE Select.

Have you considered changing your family’s TRICARE health plan for 2025? Now is your opportunity: TRICARE Open Season starts Nov. 11 and runs through Dec. 10.
