TRICARE for Life went into effect on October 1, 2001. It serves as a supplementary health care program for Medicare-eligible military retirees and their dependents, providing additional coverage beyond Medicare. This program helps to cover costs that Medicare does not fully pay, ensuring comprehensive health care for eligible beneficiaries.
After serving 20 years in the military you can file or put in a retirement packet, once accepted you maintain you medical and dental benefit's, 50% of you base pay for the remainder of your life regardless of age and maintain access to any military installation. Not entirely true. There are currently (as of 2010) 3 separate retirement plans for the Military. Not all of them gives you 50% at 20 years. Also, there is NO dental coverage unless you pay for it. Lastly, medical coverage at Military Treatment Facilities is not free. You pay for Tricare Prime (currently $460.00 per year). If you have Tricare Standard it is cost shared at the rate of 80% for Tricare and 20% for you. Tricare Standard has no annual fee.
I believe that is TriCare.
