I\'m posting this in hope of getting other retired military personnel to speak up if they are having problems with Tricare.
We retirees in the Philippines have all but lost our well deserved/earned
TRICARE benefits. However this is one website that really is trying to make a
difference, but, they can\'t do it alone please read and decide if you want to
help.
Members of the US_Military_Retirees_Of_The_Philippines Yahoo forum are fighting
the changes in Tricare policy that affect only the Philippines and make Tricare
here less accessible than anywhere else in the world. Most of these changes have
been slowly put into place with little or know publicity and policies that were
promised but then forgotten such as a local office, toll-free phone numbers and
a capitated PPO, where beneficiaries would only pay their co-pay at time of
care, have not materialized and without one word of explanation.
Currently there is a few retirees posting on Tricare\'s Facebook Wall but we
could use additional help. In addition we could use some help with letters to
congressman and senators asking about the issues we face with limited access to
our Tricare benefit. Contacting and requesting assistance from any service
organizations you belong to would be beneficial as well.
If we simply sit back and let them take our benefit away we have no one to blame
but ourselves.
