TRICARE Service Center Walk-In Service Ending TRICARE military health plan service centers will end administrative walk-in services in the U.S. on April 1.

Why the Change? Since the first TRICARE Service Center opened in the mid 1990’s, we’ve seen a shift in how you get information. With today’s technology, anything you can do at a TRICARE Service Center can be done online or over the phone. Our goal is to improve the services that you prefer to use. This change in walk-in service will save an estimated $250 million over the next five years, letting us invest in the services you want instead of those you don't use.
