tricare

I am trying to enroll in tricare prime after having a 60% via MEB. When I log into Milconnect all I see is my AD coverage. (I dont get my Dd214 until april 21- so 2 weeks from now) I cant see anything under the benefits tab other than just my current coverage. Do i need to wait until I turn in...

Recently Retired ArmyReserve-PDRL Due to PDRL I qualified for Tricare. After researching, found Tricare Select was better option, we live about 1:15 from MTF. Plus I hate having to get referrals for specialist. However, I still have another 6 years with my state job (for total of 25) for me...

I keep seeing people say tricare premiums are waived for medically retired. I can’t find any information regarding medical retirement on tricare’s website regarding fees. I retired in March and am paying the enrollment fees quarterly but they are taken monthly from my retirement. Are those...

Hello everyone, I received 20% for my DoD rating. They gave me 20% for my lower back issues which was my referring condition, I filed an appeal to get bi-lateral plantar fasciitis (20%), Anxiety (70%), and bi-lateral knee tendinitis (20%) added as DQ conditions. My appeal date is September 27th...

Good morning. I was recently diagnosed with ulcerative colitis at a hospital off post and the gastroenterologist on base won’t approve tricares referral request for me to continue seeing the dr. I want to see. Is there any way to get around the on post dr and get that approval ? Thank you.

Just got my ratings and I am at 20% DoD/100% VA. My severance pay will be around 95-100k and there should be no recoupment as I would still be 100% VA without my 20% DoD condition(if I understand this correctly?). I have a family of 4 (two kids under age 2) so I am trying to make the best...

I tried signing up for TRICARE today and the only thing they said I was eligible for was retired reserve, its been a little over a month and while DFAS and the retirement and separation office have and see my disability retirement orders.... DEERs does not.... they (DEERS) suggested I goto an ID...

So from what I’ve been told you get tricare if you have a 30% of greater dod rating. But I was on tricare and I thought I read about a year ago they give this other type of insurance instead of tricare? Is there any recent medical retirees that can clear the air, is tricare for life still a thing?

This case is very important as it provides at least persuasive authority for the possibility of members who fight for disability retirement after getting separation pay to not have to have an offset as well as the recovery of Tricare benefits.

Hello Comrades, Developed Type 1 Diabetes on Active Duty in in SEP 2002. I met an ANGEL online. I was told by an AMVETs rep when I discharged--after looking through all of my service records--I WOULD ONLY QUALIFY FOR 40%, that there were no more ratable conditions in my records. FFWD...

I recently was notified my separation, with severance, was re-characterized as retirement. Regarding enrolling in Tri-Care from date of “separation”, do you have to pay the annual premiums up to date? For me that’s 13 years. If so, can you submit a claim requesting repayment of medical...

Greetings folks! Received my PDRL orders recently and I’m curious as to which TRICARE I’m eligible. I’m in the national guard with a prior 10 years AD time. My orders state that the retirement allotment code is 12 and the statute authorizing retirement is 1204 and I have a combat...

Good Afternoon, Looking for some advise. I recently went through the Medboard process. My results as follows; THE BOARD FINDS THE SOLDIER IS PHYSICALLY UNFIT AND RECOMMENDS A RATING OF 60% AND THAT THE SOLDIER'S DISPOSITION BE PERMANENT DISABILITY RETIREMENT. DOD (retired pay) is at 1785.00...

I will be up front and apologize for my lack of knowledge regarding these issues regarding Tricare/Medicare and am hoping someone could shed some light on this email I received. Any assistance is greatly appreciated. SUBJECT: TRICARE Benefits Eligibility Notification "Dear Beneficiary, You...

I currently am rated 100% by the VA and 100% for TDRL, but I fear that my lack of treatment compliance with regular doctor visits in the last two years will almost certainly reduce my PDRL rating substantially, if they even deem me worthy of PDRL status at all. Accordingly, I have three...

You are also eligible for retrograde Tricare...which can be important if you or you family has paid out expenses. For example, I had insurance, however my co-pays were in the tens of thousands. After about 10 months of searching, I figured out whom to contact to get the claims in, however YOU...

..and you're all happy about that retirement. But then you notice that retroactive Tricare is available. And then the fun begins. So, after about a year of beating my head against a wall, I finally found out that we have to go to the Defense Health Agency to get a timely filing waiver. Fed...

I'm on permissive tdy/terminal leave now. I picked up my dd214. And was told not to do anything with it until my eaos, and once the eaos comes I being it to the nearest Deers office and that will update Deers and kick in TAMP benefits. Does this sound right? Right now my everything still shows...

If you choose to seek civilian care instead of going to the VA for treatment, how do civilian doctors access your medical records to look at your medical history? Do you have to bring them by hand are do the VA or Tricare have them electronically on file for the civilian doctors to look at? Thanks!

I will be living with family until I move to a new state for school for about 4 months. In the meantime, what do I do for medical care? I'm going to be a retiree, so do I have to continue seeing military providers since I'll still have Tricare, or can I find and choose a civilian provider? I'm...
