If I understand the rules correctly, any physician that accepts Medicare must, by law, accept Tricare.

Got this from the Army Times - “That rule says that a hospital that accepts Medicare patients is required by law to accept Tricare patients also.
That rule does not apply to individual professional providers, such as physicians.”

Yes, but I was talking about those who PARTICIPATE in Tricare. It makes a huge difference on your bill.
