Insurance providers are somewhat dictated by the area you are based/live. The insurance providers themselves are just contractors/administrators, like Humana is to Tricare.

Takes awhile to get paperwork, but it's covered day 1. IDK like ... your kids gets his appendix out at 1am and you start at 9am day 1 ... but there's no waiting period.
