Thanks to everyone for their replies. The information provided has been quite informative. I think I read somewhere that TRICARE Prime is only available if your willing to sign a waiver that basically states you are willing to travel to a Military Treatment Facility over 50 miles away on occasion. Probably Macdill Afb. It appears that TRICARE Standard and TRICARE Select are synonymous. E.g. No premium, 80% covered if doctor accepts TRICARE with a $3000 cap per year. I will continue to work following the move to Florida, so my employer may offer a good TRICARE supplement. I figure that I will use VA as much as possible and the missus will use TRICARE until Medicare/TRICARE-for-life begins. Good plan?
