TRICARE Standard, now known as TRICARE Select, typically has a cost-sharing structure that includes a percentage of the allowed amount for services rather than a fixed co-pay. For outpatient visits, beneficiaries usually pay 20% of the allowed amount after meeting the annual deductible. The specific costs can vary based on the provider and the service received, so it's essential for beneficiaries to review their plan details for accurate information.

Is Tricare Prime considered a group health insurance plan or an individual health insurance plan for retired military?
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.
In what situation do people have to make copay?
The copay amount is the different between what the cost of the medical procedure is and what the insurance will cover. Some HMO's have standard copay fees for doctors office visits, other do not. Prescription insurance plans will also have a copay amount, again to cover the cost difference between what the insurance company will pay versus the price of the medication.
Will tricare for pay for Chantix?
No. It is not covered under Tricare.
What if the doctors usual charge is less than the copay can the doctor receive the full copay amount?
The doctor's charges and the copay are separate fees, of course. With that, even if the charges are less than the copay, the physician still collects the patient's copay. At anytime, the physician can waive, then write-off, the copay, but I wouldn't advise this.
How many tricare plans are there?

Each plan offers different coverage options and eligibility criteria based on the beneficiary’s status, such as active duty, retired, or family members.

How do I get tricare I am a disabled veteran?
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,
