Tricare Standard Deductible
Does anyone know what Tricare uses as a credit against your deductible? We are currently using Anthem Blue Cross High Deductible thorough FedEx with Tricare Standard as a supplement. The new year for the Tricare deductible starts 1 October and I am not sure what they will credit as our deductible. For example, my wife takes allergy shots every month. The Blue Cross copay is $13.84 and that is what Tricare has been paying ever since we met the deductible this fiscal year. The Tricare allowed amount is $41.46. I am wondering which will count towards our $150 individual deductible, the $13.84 or the $41.56. Any body have any experience with this?
