Question:
has anyone switched

has anyone switched from tricare prime to tricare standard to have the surgery and gone back to tricare prime after the surgery and was the deductible and the 25% to much to pay? i am being told that i was going to be a year from the time that i got on the list for me even to be called to have one on one with the doctor and then at least another 5 months after that to have the surgery because there is now only one doctor and assistant to help out with the surgery. anybody have suguesstions for me.    — tmalotte (posted on October 12, 2005)

I was told the max u are liable for is 3 k per year catatrophic, call tricare and ask, the doctors office keeps saying that they cant balance bill? works for me.

I am on Tricare Standard, and always have been. I did not have any problems getting approval, just finding a doctor that accepts it. Good luck in your search
