RETIRED military are automatically eligible for tricare. Under 65, the member has to select a plan and enroll. My wife is 62 and pays $192 (approx) per year for Tricare select. The insurance is very good. I had tricare select until I reached 65, then my tricare automatically switched to TFL, tricare for Life, which has no premium payment. But TFL is a supplementary insurance and the member must enroll in Medicare as primary (A&B, or C) to receive TFL.
