Won't say that Tricare Prime isn't available here but very few Dr here will accept it. They will accept Tricare Standard/Extra however. We investigated two years ago when we moved here and when we asked why were told that the Tricare Prime was too slow paying but that Standard/Extra was not. Still the case? Don't know that but you might check into it. When you get to age 65 of course you will have to change to Medicare with Tricare for Life (if desired). Prime and Standard/Extra aren't available (at least to most) after age 65. As kb8tpw said though, go to the Tricare web site and you can do a pretty easy search to see what the situation is now.
