Sounds as if somebody recorded your coverage incorrectly. I have read that 25% of medical bills are erroneous.

Our county in PA has a dedicated veteran's advocate and our state senator (also a vet) is willing to help his constituents as well. Maybe there's somebody similar where you are?

Also billed many other insurance companies submitted by military patients.

By the way...when I was the Executive Director of a 501c3 medical clinic (Federally Qualified Health clinic) I billed Tri Care for my patients along with Aetna etal. I know what I am getting in the mail. nb

You are right on and I have lost down to 110 pounds and they still can't find out what to treat me for, yet they damn sure want me to pay them. nb

A new contract joinee to our Program,,,The University of Texas Medical Group operates on Team Program...When you visit them you find they have a 'Team' of doctors you see initially...I saw 5 doctors initially and each one charged $542 for a visit and then wound up with one saying "I can't see what is wrong with you. Duh...I had MRI's BEING passed around my film showing my Pelvis was fractured in 2 places and my tailbone was fractured..ALSO i LANDED ON MY LUMBER SPINE AND ALL DISCS IN THE LUMBER SPINE HAD BEEN HERNIATED. HE WAS A NEUROLOGIST. Then I was sent the bill to pay. under tricare 25 years i haven't received a bill or paid a copay. What the hell is going on? Husband died from service connected inuries. Are we dependants being blown away? nb

I'm confused. Are you not getting the care your husband earned for you?
