Health Care 150 TRICARE OVERVIEW TRICARE is the Department of Defense’s health care program, covering nearly 9.5 million people worldwide, including active duty service members, National Guard and Reserve members, retirees, family members, survivors, and others enrolled in the Defense Enrollment Eligibility Reporting System (DEERS). For those living in Hawaiʻi, it’s important to understand how TRICARE works locally, as access to care may differ from what you’re used to on the mainland. Network availability, referral processes, and specialty care access can vary, so it’s a good idea to confirm details before seeking off-base care. Keeping your DEERS information up to date is key to avoiding coverage issues and ensuring you’re able to take full advantage of TRICARE benefits while stationed in Hawaii.
