We have no military bases where we are and my husband has been retired since 1990. Idaho used to be one of the worst states for getting Tricare approved medical care but about 5 years ago things changed. That's what I used to call it too, but so far, so good. All of my doctors are TriCare approved but they don't accept assignment which means that I pay the difference, but it hasn't been that much. At least no where near the $1550 month premium we have been paying plus the out of pocket expenses for meds! So, I think in the long run, it's going to be a whole lot cheaper.
The TriCare website is great and all of the customer care reps on the phone have been wonderful.
