Dakota,
You're not the first to say that "many doctors will not accept patients that use TriCare." I'm wondering if it's a regional thing, as here in the North East, I've never had a problem with my health care providers accepting TriCare. I'm retired (over 65) and as such have Medicare and TriCare-For-Life, and I can think of only a few times, when we (my wife and I) actually had to pay an out-of-pocket medical co-pay. And believe me when I tell you that you don't spend less time at the doctors as you age. I wonder what gives?
