SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Title; Associated Form; and OMB Number: TRICARE Prime Enrollment,
Disenrollment, and Change of Primary Care Manager (PCM); DD 2876; OMB
Control Number 0720-0008.
Needs and Uses: The information collection is necessary to obtain
non-active-duty TRICARE beneficiary's personal information, which is
needed to (1) Complete enrollment into TRICARE Prime health plan, (2)
change the beneficiary's enrollment (new Primary Care Manager, enrolled
region, add/drop a dependent, etc.), or (3) disenroll the beneficiary.
This information is required to ensure the beneficiary's benefits and
claims are administered based on their plan of choice. Without this
information, each non-active-duty TRICARE beneficiary is automatically
defaulted into direct care only, limiting their health care options to
military hospitals and clinics. These beneficiaries would have no
TRICARE coverage when using the TRICARE network of providers for
services not available at their local military hospital or clinic.
Affected Public: Individuals or households.
Annual Burden Hours: 354,626.
Number of Respondents: 709,252.
Responses per Respondent: 2.
Annual Responses: 1,418,504.
Average Burden per Response: 15 minutes.
Frequency: On occasion.
Dated: July 16, 2025.
