I appreciate all the input you can give us!
I imagine you could us PCM at Macdill. Prime mainly for close proximity of Military base (I thing prime going up in OCT.? So far Tricare Standard costs me nothing. I sure that will change sometime in the future?) were your Primary doctor at the Gov. facility. There no Close Military Hospital cLose to the villages. So, Think that's the reason its not offered in this area? Beyond the mileage limit? You can go to The TRICARE Prime Program | Military.com

and read up on it. But IMO standard so far for me been alright especially if you get your meds. from express scripts, you meds will be delivered to your door, so you don't have to fool with Pharmacy.
