New names and games to protect the vet. I have Tricare for life and Tricare prime, been retired for over 20 years. I have never received any statement from TFL and prime about how much they paid for my medical care.
Tricare ends when you become eligible for Medicare. Tricare for life then kicks in as the secondary payer serving as the Part D portion of Medicare.
You can't have both Tricare prime and Tricare for life at the same time.
