After that date, claims for beneficiaries who aren't shown as eligible in DEERS will be denied and will no longer be sent electronically from Medicare to TRICARE for payment. These beneficiaries will be responsible for paying for services that Medicare doesn't cover. Claims received for beneficiaries with expired eligibility will continue to be denied until their eligibility information is updated By law, DoD must take back payments made for ineligible persons. Since the initial Aug. 1 deadline for updating expired eligibility was set, DoD has received health care claims for more than 40,000 TRICARE For Life beneficiaries with expired eligibility, of which almost 19,000 have updated their eligibility. Approximately 4,000 lost their TRICARE eligibility due to certain events such as divorce from a military retiree, remarriage of a widow, or death. Nearly 17,000 beneficiaries, however, have not responded to mailings from DoD urging them to update their eligibility in DEERS so they may use TRICARE For Life. TRICARE For Life beneficiaries who need to update or eligibility, or beneficiaries who have received an Explanation of Benefits stating that they need to update their eligibility, should contact the nearest ID card facility for assistance. To help beneficiaries locate the three nearest ID card facilities, the Web site www.dmdc.osd.milrsl has been set up. Beneficiaries may also call the DoD Benefits Reverification Telephone Center at For more information about TRICARE For Life, visit the TRICARE Web site at www.tricare.osd.miltfl, or call the Worlde wide TRICARE Information Center at (877) DOD-LIF- COLLEGE R CNA 1 2003 deadline set DEERS of living employees (but not of annuitants) .
