how long does it get under army health insurance?

I am getting married this sunday and i was wondering how long it would take for me to get under his insurance. I've heard it can take up to six months is that true? How long does it usually take and what do i have to do?

No health insurance (Tricare) will not take up to 6 months before you are eligible for it. That can be housing or command sponsorship if he is overseas on orders. As soon as your information is entered into DEERS you are automatically enrolled into Tricare Standard. With Standard you go to approved civilian providers, have a yearly deductible and a co-pay for each visit. When you get your military ID card you can change to Tricare Prime. With Prime you go to a Military Treatment Facility (MTF) and there is no cost to you after being given a Primary Care Manager (PCM). With Prime though that doesn't start immediately it depends on the date of hte month you enroll. If you do it before the 20th then it starts on the 1st of the next month. If you sign up after the 20th then it starts on the 1st of the following month. Meaning you sign up May 19th it starts on June 1st, but sign up on May 21st it starts on July 1st.
