I was wondering if you can tell me informations about Tricare? What does included in these program?
Sure. Tricare provides comprehensive health coverage, including health plans, prescription medicines, dental plans and programs for people with special needs. This program is managed by DOD's Health agency.
Umm, looks like a very complete program. Say, i remembered that a friend of mine has a child with something about its spine, i think it's called somthing bifida, sorry, do you know if he can get help for the child?
You mean Spina Bifida. And yes, if your friend is a Vietnam War Veteran, He may qualify for disability benefits for his child, including health care benefits.
Great, i'll make sure he knows about this. Could you tell me what i have to be in order to qualify for Tricare?
Well, you may qualify if you're the family member of an active-duty, retired or deceased service member, National Guard soldier, reservist or medal of honor recipient.
