so I am getting married on Tuesday. While he has been in the army for two years he doesnt know how long it will take for my insurance to go into affect. Does anyone know how long it will be before I can see a doctor?

ok, take the wedding certificate to deers, and get enrolled, then inroll in tricare, I think it should only take 30 days for it to all go through, but just call benificary support to check with them, they'll be able to tell you for sure

Good luck with the marriage part too. Congrats

When I enrolled in TriCare, it was effective the 1st of the following month - they told me that if I really needed to see a doctor, though, that I could make an appointment on base and just bring in a copy of the enrollment papers. I don't know if everyone does that or not, though.

If you're enrolled before the 20th of the month, it's effective immediately. If it's after the 20th, it's effective the first of the following month. You'll need your social, and marriage certificate to get on DEERS.. then go to Tricare..

Hey hun. I don't know much about how it all works as I am getting married next week too but I just wanted to say :congrats on your upcoming nuptuals! Best of luck to you and your DF :D
