Any comments from Tri Care for Life users in TV would be welcomed. How does it work there and how satisfied are you?

WHAT A SURPRISE YOU ARE ABOUT TO HAVE!!! We also had Johns Hopkins Family Health Plan. I am only 55, not on Medicare. We had great insurance, great physicians, great specialists, great hospital resources. We come down here to Florida and find that MOST physicians don't take Tricare, the radiology facility is in Belleview, you'll have to travel to most of your physicians in Leesburg or Ocala or Orlando and you will end up at some of the worst offices you've ever been in. One office was old and smelled like mildew, the doctor was simply elderly. Our "gatekeeper", our Tricare assigned PMD. is almost incompetent and we're thinking about switching, my husband and I end up laughing under our breaths before we get out of the office. One hint: before you leave Maryland - have a check-up and get ALL your medicines refilled. You are going to have a real disapointment when you arrive here. I have. Sorry for the Gray Cloud.
