DEERS in Medical Billing Explained
In medical billing, DEERS is used to verify eligibility for TRICARE, the healthcare program for active-duty military members, retirees, and their dependents. Healthcare providers use DEERS to confirm that patients are enrolled in TRICARE and eligible for services.
For example, a military family member’s eligibility for TRICARE benefits is verified through the DEERS system before receiving healthcare services.
