Article Title: After retirement hang up the uniform, but keep Tricare
Snippet of Article: "... Tricare Extra offers even lower out of pocket expense if beneficiaries use network providers. Although there is no enrollment fee for Tricare Standard and Extra, a deductible of $150 for individuals and $300 for a family must be met before cost-sharing begins.
Under Tricare Standard and Extra, most beneficiaries retain the same access to pharmacy benefits through a local military treatment facility or the Tricare Mail Order Pharmacy, as well the option to use the Tricare retail pharmacy network.
Retirees may also be eligible for certain medical and pharmacy benefits from the Department of Veterans Affairs in addition to Tricare retiree health care benefits. If eligible, members can receive care under either program. For more information, go to http://www.va.gov/health.
