'Tricare for Life' Starts With Small Glitch
Tricare for Life began with 87 percent of beneficiaries on track for electronic exchange of claims processing between Medicare and TFL. Thus, 13 percent of the 1.5 million Tricare for Life beneficiaries failed to make the electronic connection. They have been identified and will receive a letter from Tricare in early November, advising them how to file claims for care received since October 1. Tricare Management Activity officials have stated that all Tricare claims will be paid, and that the electronic problem will be resolved by December 1. Officials asked beneficiaries to take no action unless asked to do so by letter.
