What is the TRICARE deductible?

 

An annual deductible applies to the TRICARE plans below. The amount you pay depends on your sponsor's status, rank, and your beneficiary group. If you're in a plan with a deductible, you must pay your annual deductible before TRICARE begins to pay for your health care services and your prescription drugs. Active duty service members don’t have an annual deductible. See the table below to find the deductible for your plan.
