Tricare Reserve Select (TRS) will be restructured October 1, according to officials at the Tricare Management Activity (TMA). Although details are sparse, Army Maj. Gen. Elder Granger, deputy director of TMA, said that starting October 1 all qualified members will pay the same premium rates. "By late summer, beneficiaries can check the TRS section on www.tricare.mil for details on the restructured TRS," said Granger. Tricare Reserve Select is the premium-based Tricare health plan qualified National Guard and Reserve members may purchase. The plan offers comprehensive health coverage similar to Tricare Standard and Tricare Extra. TRS members and their covered family members may access care from any Tricare-authorized provider, hospital or pharmacy. They also can seek care from a military clinic or hospital on a space-available basis, although that is normally a very limited option. |
