I have Tricare for Life, something I am proud to have earned. It's an extremely valuable and precious benefit that brings me security as I age. Prior to my 65th birthday this year I got "the letter" inviting me to leave TVH or go with UHC HMO options. I investigated the benefit under the two products that United Healthcare offers in conjunction with TVH if Iopted to turned my Medicare Part B benefit into United Healthcare Medicare Advantage product. The specific UHC provider network for these products is extremely limited. The UHC drug benefit would effectively end the excellent drug benefit I have under Tricare for Life. So no more Express Scripts. One of my drugs would cost me about $800/year more under the UHC package. I decided to stick with Tricare for Life.
