Simplified Tricare Reserve Select Opens Oct. 1 Published Aug. 24, 2007 By 932nd Airlift Wing Scott AFB, Ill. -- A simplified Tricare Reserve Select (TRS) program open to all Guardsmen and Reservists will debut Oct. 1, 2007. New TRS provides an across-the-board health care plan similar to the active-duty coverage but open to all Guardsmen and Reservists. The only group excluded is Guardsmen and Reservists eligible/enrolled for Federal Employee Health Benefits. The new TRS is a premium-based health plan available to Selected Reserve members (unit assigned and IMA members) at 28 percent of the premium cost. Now, all enrollees will pay $81 a month for personal coverage or $253 a month for family TRS offers coverage similar to TRICARE Standard (and TRICARE Extra) with the active duty family member deductibles and cost shares applied to both the Selected Reserve member and family members under the TRS plan. Members who are currently enrolled in TRS under the 3 Tier program, must re-enroll into the new program prior to September 30, 2007 in order to continue coverage.
