TRICARE Benefits 

This page lists questions and answers specifically involving TRICARE coverage. For additional information, please visit TRICARE’s Moving to Japan page.

My child is attending college in Japan, but I (the sponsor) am returning to the U.S. Is my child eligible for care at Naval Hospital Yokosuka while they’re in school? 

If the child is living overseas and not in the same area or household as the sponsor, the child has the option to enroll in TRICARE Select Overseas or TRICARE Young Adult Select depending on their age. To enroll, please contact International SOS at +1-877-678-1208. 
For more information on getting care at Naval Hospital Yokosuka, please see the Appointments and Referrals page.
