Tricare,
Acupuncture is the Chinese medical practice of sticking needles into a person to promote health and wellness. Some people believe acupuncture is several thousand years old, while scholars argue that the number is more like 2,000 years.
It developed in the Han dynasty
my name is Dr. Freeman and i am a chiropractor and in my 17 years of experience i have learned that yes you can become paralyzed with acupuncture! mainly when you have it done in your lower back!
Yes, acupuncture can be effective for problems of the hands. Acupuncturists often use a combination of local points on the hands and points on the corresponding meridians to treat a variety of hand conditions, such as carpal tunnel syndrome, tendonitis, arthritis, and trigger finger. Acupuncture can help reduce pain and inflammation, improve range of motion, and promote healing. However, as with any medical treatment, the effectiveness of acupuncture for hand problems may vary depending on the individual case, and it's important to consult with a qualified and licensed acupuncturist to determine if acupuncture is an appropriate treatment option.

Tricare for Life with Medicare is not affected by Obamacare because it falls under different legislation.
Yes, as long as you are under Tricare of any form(prime, standard, life). Tricare should cover it 100%.
how does tricare for life and medicare and 100% rating from the va work
Tricare for Life provides health insurance to members of the military and their families. Tricare for Life bridges the gap between military healthcare personnel operating on base or in the field and civilian health organizations. Tricare for Life has an information booklet that can be accessed online and is given to all military personnel. They also have considerable information on their website.
Tricare Prime is not a "stand alone" plan. Tricare Prime is TRICARE Prime Supplemental Insurance Plan de¬signed to help pay your cost share and copayments under TRICARE (In-Network and Out-of-Network expenses). It was modeled as an HMO. Your Tricare Standard/Extra Plan is the base coverage.
you should have tricare if you are a vet. If you are old enough to get medicare, tricare for life is the insurance that is usually attached. Get online and tricare.com I belive that not all vets have tricare. You receive Tricare benefits if you were retired from the military (either medically or due to time/age). You would have a retired ID card and that is your Tricare medical card as well. If you think you are eligible you can contact tricare by calling 1-800-tricare and you will be directed to the necessary region. I hope that helps. My husband and I were both medically retired/disabled and have tricare insurance. But friends that are considered disabled by the VA only do not get the same benefits. I am basing my response on personal knowledge and experience. Best Regards,
No, Tricare is the health insurance provided for active servicemembers in the US Military and their immediate families (spouse and children). It would not cover veterinary services provided for family animals.
One at 20 weeks to determine health and exact gestational age of baby. There are other instances that Tricare will also cover. Those specific situations is covered here at their website. https://www.hnfs.net/common/benefits/ultrasound_policy_040106.htm The above statement is false. Tricare only covers ultra sounds if there is an issue. Tricare will make you pay for it if it is just a routine ultra sound.
