Thanks all for your input and information: logdog if I understand you correctly I can go to the VA clinic or hospital but would have copay beings I am military retiree without disability?

I will have 3 year or less depending on when I retire and final get TOTVs. (I have to sell my house before I can buy in the villages can't afford two houses at once, that could take year or more) For what you all are informing me Tri-care standard Does pay, But I have to reach out of pocket expense cap before it kicks in?

Now my wife as dependent with tri-care standard. Questions for those in that situation under 65 but over 62. Is the out of pocket cap the same? copay would not be problem just treatments/illness that may cost thousands to get over it we get ill between 62 and 65 ? I have MHBP at my present job. But, It will take probably close to half of my retirement from that job which I really don't want to pay for it if I have my military benefits I can rely on.

Again thanks for the responses and information
