Tricare for Life

Just picked up a concern from another thread.my question is does Tricare for life cover in Canada or for that matter anywhere overseas? I am on VA as well but DW is TFL only.

I do not believe so. Because Medicare is your first payer with Tricare second and Medicare won't cover outside USA. In general if Medicare doesn't cove neither does Tricare. Best to puck up a short term travel policy

Right here. Not exactly " stood corrected" but I would assume most people would understand that " learning something new" meant pretty much the same thing. Besides your "absolutely wrong" remark was a little off putting. Now I'm going for more coffee
