Tricare Help: When it comes to Tricare rumors, remember the facts

Q. I just heard from a friend that Tricare for Life will not be granted to anyone not already enrolled after Oct. 1, 2012. Is there any truth to that?

Plank pro: Former Marine George Hood sets record

The Tough Guy of the Week Award goes to former Marine George Hood after surviving his recent grueling pain-a-thon to break the world record for longest plank.

Tricare Help: Will Tricare cover patient’s other co-pay?

Q. If Tricare is secondary to a commercial insurance, will Tricare pay the primary insurance’s co-payment? Our medical practice treated the child of a parent who gave Health Alliance insurance as a primary carrier and Tricare “Active Duty Family Member” as the secondary insurance. The parent refused to pay the primary insurance co-pay and stated Tricare will pay the co-pay when Tricare is billed.

Tricare Help: Do we need a Medicare Advantage Plan?

Q. My wife and I have Tricare for Life and Medicare Parts A and B. I keep seeing commercials for Medicare Advantage plans. Should we get one of those as a backup?

Tricare Help: Can I keep Tricare eligibility after my divorce?

Q. My husband is retired from the Navy. After 26 years of marriage, he now wants to divorce me. We were married for 16 of the years he was on active duty. Will I lose my Tricare eligibility when we divorce? I have lots of medical problems, and I don’t know what I would do without medical coverage.

Tricare Help: Will baby be covered by boyfriend’s Tricare?

Q. My boyfriend is in the Army, and I am covered under my parents’ insurance. I am pregnant, and my insurance will cover the labor and delivery of the baby. After the baby is born, will the child fall under my boyfriend’s insurance even though we aren’t married?

Tricare Help: What if estranged husband won’t let us get IDs?

Q. My estranged husband of 26 years is an Army retiree and has been extremely hostile since I left our abusive relationship. In the 2½ years we have been separated, he has disobeyed every court order issued for child support and disclosure of income and assets. Now my daughter and I need new military ID cards to prove our coverage under Tricare — our only health insurance. Although I have been told that a hostile spouse can’t terminate Tricare before the divorce is final, he will undoubtedly refuse to process the paperwork necessary for the new ID cards. How can I get the new ID cards without his cooperation?

Army (brat) strong: Heisman winner Robert Griffin III learned ethic of hard work from soldier parents

It was a miserably cold fall Friday night in central Texas when Staff Sgt. Robert Griffin Jr. looked down into the eyes of his 11-year-old son and knew something special was going on.

Tricare Help: If other health insurance is available, do we have to take it?

Q. My husband has Tricare Prime. He is considering a full-time job with full benefits. If health insurance is an optional benefit, does Tricare require that he take it?

Tricare Help: Supplemental advised for Tricare for Life overseas users

Q. You have written that “under Tricare for Life, you must get all your civilian medical care from Medicare providers only.” That’s only if you expect Medicare to pay its portion under Tricare for Life, right? I live overseas and will enroll in both Medicare Parts A and B when the time comes. Will that ensure my current Tricare Standard coverage continues under TFL?
