Tricare Prime is not available unless you want to drive 1 1/2 hours plus one way to MacDill AFB hospital for routine care. I've been very pleased with the local VA Clinic. My 10% disability means no copays. Spouse is under 65 and has been using a combination of VA Clinic with minor copay and Tricare Select. So far it's been cheaper than the annual Prime enrolment fees that we used to pay back when Prime was available.
