Forsyth was not talking about Tricare For Life (TFL) but basic Tricare or some derivation thereof (Tricare Prime?). I think he is correct is that a lot less doctors accept Tricare as your primary medical insurance than many other insurance plans. A little due dilligance should turn up reasonable doctors in TV that accept Tricare but you will have to ask and look and work at it a little.

Tricare For Life (TFL), on the other hand, is accepted where ever Medicare is accepted. In actuality, some that accept Medicare do not even know that they also accept TFL because Medicare makes the billing to TFL so transparent.
