Unless you specifically changed your spouse&#39;s enrollment she is enrolled in Prime.<br /><br />Which Tricare you&#39;re enrolled in makes no difference to the EFMP screening. An Army doctor is required to do the screening Response by SFC Private RallyPoint Member made Jul 10 at 2021 5:34 AM 2021-07-10T05:34:39-04:00 2021-07-10T05:34:39-04:00 SGM Bill Frazer 7099256 <div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>If you are still active then she normally is covered by your normal insurance. You military hospital should be able to guide you.

Your buddy doesn’t have a clue.<br /><br />Second, if your wife is already in deers and added as a dependent she should already be added at Tricare Prime as a default. Dont hesitate to stop by your nearest tricare rep to go over the differences of the various Tricare levels. <br /><br />Third, Screenings don’t depend on your Tricare level. It’s covered regardless<br /><br />Fourth,<br />If you can afford elevating your Tricare level you should. It’s worth it Response by SSgt Christophe Murphy made Jul 10 at 2021 2:52 PM 2021-07-10T14:52:45-04:00 2021-07-10T14:52:45-04:00 SMSgt Bob Wilson 7101396 <div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>EFMP vs Tricare Prime? Isn&#39;t that like bowling balls vs peaches? Isn&#39;t she with you and isn&#39;t a military doctor doing the evaluation? What does insurance have to do with it?
