If I have tricare prime because my husband is retired and Blue cross blue shield through my husband's active employer which will be my primary carrier?

Answer 1

It depends on the dr or pharmacy that accepts your insurance. For instance if a dr accepts blue cross and not tricare then blue cross will be your primary and vica versa. If a dr accepts both they will usually check to see which one covers more of the services you received and bill that insurance company first. I wouldn't worry too much about it. Just list that you have both and the dr's office will do the rest.
Addendum:Typically, the insurance of the older spouse, oddly enough, is the primary. Contact your carriers and double check.
