My son is married, currently doing BCT at Fort Sill, OK and he's asked me to help him get his wife set up with?

Medical insurance. We are going for her DEER ID tomorrow. What do I do after that? The paperwork he sent from the base gave a # for personnel at Fort Sill, but they NEVER answer. There's no # included for the insurance-(only TriCare Dental). How do we go about getting her medical ID? I don't even know the name of the insurance carrier. Thanks.
--------------------
Once her information was entered into DEERS she was automatically enrolled into Tricare Standard. With Standard she goes to a civilian provider that is approved and there is a co-pay and yearly deductible. When she gets her ID card she can then go to the base hospital and change to Tricare Prime. With Prime there is no co-pay or deductible, but she is seen on base with her PCM (Primary Care manager) for any other appointments she can need a referral from the PCM. She will not start with Prime until August 1st unless there is an emergency because she is enrolling after the 20th of the month. She will receive her Tricare card in the mail http://www.tricare.mil With Dental that is separate through United Concordia. For that she must sign up first and pay the first month, after that it is deducted from his pay. http://www.tricaredentalprogram.com/tdpt… It is $13 for 1 dependent or $31 for a family. This coverage includes 2 free cleanings a year, then a co-pay on each visit when work is necessary.
