Default Tri-care for retired military
Haven't been on Tri-care for 20 years other than secondary coverage with hardly never paid except when I had brain tumor removed not long after I retired form military. Getting ready to retire for good and thinking about tri-care again being I am retiring for the second time. Retired AF with 20+ years. As I understand it there are 3 options? Tri-care standard, Tri-care Prime, and Tri-care for life 65 and older? How does tri-care work in the villages for someone between the ages of 62 to 65?.

I know there is VA hospital but as far as I know I am not edible beings I am not disabled? Don't know why I would qualify for VA being I was in military service for 20 years. Can Anybody comment on how the system works at or around the villages for us retiree's and how much out of pocket expense do you paid. Figuring out budget on my retired pay and I know Medical will be big part of it. Thanks for any that take the time to respond.
