From the Tricare website:
If you have any health insurance other than TRICARE, it is called "other health insurance." This insurance can be through your employer or a private insurance program.
- TRICARE pays second after any other health insurance plan.
- Active duty service members (including activated Guard/Reserve members) can't use other health insurance.
- Tell your provider and regional contractor when you have other health insurance.
Some Doc's, clinics, pharmacies will file w/Tricare (as secondary) and thereby reducing your out-of-pocket costs with no effort on your part.
