Comment from a reader on: Tricare is a Benefit Not a Privilege: I have had two bad
experiences with Tricare here in the Philippines. My first was required hand
surgery I had at St Lukes in Manila. The bill was over $2,000. I paid it and
filed a claim for reimbursement. Tricare sends me a check for $240, or 13% of
what I had paid. I complained to Tricare and wrote my Senator. Tricare demanded
I return the $240 and actually confiscated the $240 out of my next claims for
meds prior to my allotted time to appeal being up. The reason for the entire
claim being denied? I spent the night prior to surgery in the hospital on
Doctors orders. My next major claim was the result of vehicle accident. They
reimbursed 40% of my claim. It is a shame that our Vets are being treated they
way they are by tricare. All they would have to do is reimburse at the 75%
mandated, on all legit claims, and folks would be happy.
