Tricare Reserve Select question

[airmans_angel]

Quick question.... is there a health card that we get from them or is our ID cards the health card that we show to make sure we are covered? Sorry for this question ( I know it sounds stupid, but I'm new to it all)

DH said that we just use our ID cards. We got a card for dental though.

It's not a stupid question.. Tricare Reserve has separate cards.. If you look at your dependent ID, it probably says something like "Medical with active duty orders over 30 days".. So you can't use your Dep ID for ins unless he's active..

TRS issues a card for every member in the family.

YEs my dep card does say medical with active duty order over 30 days... so i can be expecting TRS to issue everyone a medical card, and to have it in the mail?

Yea, they come in the mail. Few weeks, I guess. I don't have TRS, but my brother does for his wife and kids.. His wife is on Messenger right now, that's how I know

lol...thanks for asking for me! I'm just glad to know because we started getting our TRS on the 1st and I had my eye appointment and didnt have my card on me, since i havent gotten it and they told me to just bill TRS, and i didnt want to make another appt for my doctors till i had it and i wanted to know how it worked!!!

Waiiiit wait wait... I thought that with Tricare Reserve Select, you can get Tricare whether or not they are deployed...but with the copays and such?

I was just in the hospital and there was no copay and DH was just in the doc appt and there was no copay? I'm so lost. He's not active or deployed.

Did you meet your cap for the year?

I thought TRS had copays of 15-20% depending upon which provider you go to.
