Medical and Dental Insurance: Off-Base

Some medical/dental insurance plans may not be suited for off base or overseas medical services. You should research the best insurance company/plan before coming to Spain that will provide you and your family with the best service.

You may enroll or change enrollment when you transfer from a duty post within the United States to a duty post outside the United States or the reverse. You have 31 days before the date you are expected to leave your former duty post and 60 days after your arrival at the new duty post to enroll or change enrollment.
