quick tri-care question - Military Benefits

06-09-2006, 01:21 PM

I used it for the first time at my dr yesterday the nurse called to confirm I had it and they say yes does this mean it's ok for my dr to bill them?

what happens when your dr bills them do you get a bill for the part of the vist you have to pay?

thanks for the help

TIA

Are you prime or standard?

It does depend on if you are prime or standard but I think if your Dr. is willing to take their insurance than they have to decide if you will co pay or they will just take what Tri-care pays. You might want to call and ask tri-care they could answer your question better.

If you are standard you will get a bill from Tricare for the difference I believe. You can call Tricare and double check. But alot depends on if you are prime or standard.
