Overview

TRICARE Supplement Insurance Plans

FRA offers MilicarePLUS TRICARE Supplement Insurance Plans to pair with TRICARE Select, TRICARE Prime, TRICARE Reserve Select and TRICARE Retired Reserve. It works hand-in-hand with your TRICARE coverage to help pay more of your covered medical bills and gives you protection for everything from hospital stays to doctor visits and prescription drugs.

 

TRICARE SELECT Supplement Insurance Plans (MilicarePLUS)

This protection is a true value for members and their families. Designed to supplement TRICARE Select, MilicarePLUS gives you valuable coverage at economical group rates. It helps pay for both inpatient and outpatient care and prescription drugs. This coverage offers you options to help fit your budget and needs. Choose from the Basic, Choice, or Select Plans—you are guaranteed acceptance.*
 

  • MilicarePLUS TRICARE SELECT Supplement - Basic Plan (Retired and Active Duty Plans)

  • The Basic Plan pays benefits 100% of the allowed amount TRICARE Select leaves you to pay after you pay the TRICARE Select deductible and MilicarePLUS deductible, ($300 per person, $600 for families). It's your best bet if your doctor accepts the TRICARE assignment.
     

  • MilicarePLUS TRICARE SELECT Supplement - Choice Plan (Retired and Active Duty Plans)

  • The Choice Plan pays your TRICARE Select copayment once you pay the TRICARE Select deductible and MilicarePLUS deductible ($250 per person, $500 for families). Then, if your covered medical bills are more than what TRICARE Select allows also known as excess charges, the Choice Plan picks up 115% of these covered costs.
     

  • MilicarePLUS TRICARE SELECT Supplement - Select Plan (Retired and Active Duty Plans)

  • Here's the FRA option that offers the highest coverage. It takes over once TRICARE makes its payment, and you have paid your TRICARE deductible. Plus, you won't need to satisfy a plan deductible with MilicarePLUS Select. The Select Plan pays your covered medical bills if they are more than what TRICARE Select allows (excess charges.)

 

 

MilicarePLUS TRICARE PRIME Supplement (Retired Plan - no deductible)

MilicarePLUS can also work with your TRICARE Prime coverage to provide valuable protection for you and your family. This plan pays your TRICARE Prime copayments for inpatient care, outpatient treatment and prescription drugs.
 

MilicarePLUS TRICARE RESERVE SELECT Supplement Plans

The MilicarePLUS TRICARE Reserve Select Supplement Plan offered to FRA shipmates can help make sure you're prepared. That's because MilicarePLUS, teamed with TRICARE Reserve Select, helps pay your family's covered medical expenses - doctor visits, lab tests, prescription drugs, outpatient treatments, and Hospital stays. In fact, MilicarePLUS helps pay more of your medical bills!

The MilicarePLUS TRICARE Reserve Select Supplement Plan pays your TRICARE Reserve Select copays, cost-shares and excess charges once you pay the TRICARE Reserve Select deductible and MilicarePLUS deductible ($250 per person, $500 for families). 

 

MilicarePLUS TRICARE RETIRED RESERVE Supplement Plans

As a Retired Reservist or Shipmate, you may have recently become eligible to purchase the TRICARE Retired Reserve Insurance coverage. This is good news because you may now have TRICARE Retired Reserve as an alternative to your current healthcare coverage. In fact, it may be ideal for members who have been forgoing healthcare coverage altogether, are self-employed or who are currently covered by a more expensive civilian healthcare plan.

But as good as TRICARE Retired Reserve is, it’s not designed to cover everything. There are out-of-pockets costs for co-payments, cost-shares and excess charges that you will be responsible for.

 

Choose between these two Retired Reserve supplement plans to help cover the out-of-pocket costs for co-payments, cost-shares and excess charges.

  • MilicarePLUS TRICARE Retired Reserve Supplement Plan - Basic Plan

    The Basic Plan pays basic benefits...100% of the allowed amount TRICARE Retired Reserve leaves you to pay after you pay the TRICARE deductible and MilicarePLUS deductible ($300 per person; $600 for family). It's your best bet if your doctor accepts the TRICARE assignment.

  • MilicarePLUS TRICARE Retired Reserve Supplement Plan - Choice Plan

    The MilicarePlus Choice Plan picks up your TRICARE expenses after you satisfy the TRICARE Deductible and MilicarePlus deductible ($250 per person; $500 for family). Then, if your covered medical bills are more than what TRICARE allows (also known as excess charges), the Choice Plan picks up 100% of these covered costs. Please note that doctors and medical providers who do not accept assignment are prohibited from charging you more than 115% of the amount TRICARE allows. Therefore, MilicarePlus Choice pays only up to this amount. MilicarePlus helps pay your family's covered medical expenses - doctor visits, lab tests, prescription drugs, outpatient treatments, Hospital stays, x-rays, physical therapy and more

FAQS

Answers about the plan, including eligibility, options, enrollment, customer service and more.
  • TRICARE Select includes an annual deductible. Does MilicarePLUS pay it?

    No, you pay the TRICARE Select deductible.
  • Will Pre-Existing Conditions by waived if I no longer have employer health insurance?

    You qualify for MilicarePLUS with no waiting period for current health conditions if you sign up within 30 days after your employer-sponsored plan ends because you are no longer an eligible participant (for example, if you change jobs, move, or retire). 

    If you voluntarily end your employer plan while you are still an eligible participant, you are not eligible to have the Pre-Existing Conditions waived.
  • Will I need a physical to request coverage?

    As an FRA member under age 65, you and your family are guaranteed acceptance. However, insurance benefits payable are subject to the policy's Pre-Existing Conditions Limitation.
  • I'm currently on active duty assignment. What happens when I retire?

    When you retire, if you enroll within 60 days of the date your Active Duty coverage ends, and your family is currently covered under the MilicarePLUS Active Duty TRICARE Supplement, you may qualify to waive the waiting period for current health conditions under your MilicarePLUS Select, Choice or Basic plan.
  • Can I enroll my family?

    Yes. You can enroll all or part of your family. Your spouse qualifies for coverage if he/she is not legally separated or divorced from you, unless you are required to provide coverage for such spouse by court decree. Your unmarried children can qualify for coverage up to age 21 (23 if a full-time student or 26 if covered under TRICARE Young Adult).
