<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>I use US Family Health Plan here in Southe Eastern PA. I have had no problems what so ever. USFP is another choice we hvae oither than TRI-CARE!

<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>I'm 48, my wife is 68, we have Tricare Reserve Select, and they often mistakenly submit her medical expenses to Tricare For Life, assuming I'm retired when I'm not. It's a pain in the ass.

<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>The quality of care and availability of appointments has never been an issue. My problem stems from the fact that I was once Active Duty, and I am now a dependent. At least every couple months, the system decides that I'm my own sponsor, and starts submitting treatment under my social. I can usually tell because when I go in for an appointment, they call my husband's rank and my name. A few times, I've gotten a notice in the mail saying that I owe money because I'm no longer entitled to Tricare benefits since separation. However, I've never had a problem getting it taken care of and switched back to my husband. It is an extra pain to deal with though!

<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>Absolutely fantastic and that includes throughout wife&#39;s battle with cancer. Actually had a couple of her doctors call TRICARE the Cadillac of health insurance from their standpoint.

<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>The best. We were worried when my husband had emergency surgery for a life-threatening illness, but it was great insurance.

<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>I have had a bad experience with TriCare on 2 separate incidents.<br />Medical bill that was never paid took about 2 month to respond.<br />I file a complaint and got a nasty<br />reply..<br />I rely solely on my private insurance
