How does the TRICARE Extra/Standard Supplement Plan coordinate with TRICARE?
A. Unless also enrolled under another Group Insurance Plan, TRICARE is the primary payer and the Supplement Plan is secondary. Thus, you are able to take full advantage of your military benefits. Your claims are filed first with TRICARE, then the TRICARE Explanation of Benefit (EOB) Statement is sent to the Supplement Plan. The Supplement Plan will pay for your TRICARE cost share, (TRICARE Standard deductible if enrolled in the Comprehensive Plan option) and covered excess charges after you meet the Supplement Plan deductible.
