TriCare and ADR
 
Okay, not sure if this has been brought up yet, but my surgeon brought up a good point...
TriCare (the military insurance), all regions, only covers ADR for those who are on active duty; they will NOT cover the surgery for those who are military dependents or retirees. :raspberry:
This means that entire demographics of patients are being excluded from what, clearly, the military endorses as a valid medical procedure. Spouses, children, and retirees are completely ineligible for the procedure to be covered, but active duty are covered 100%. I could understand if they denied EVERYONE, but it's only non-active duty clients that are denied. :shout:
My doctor suggested this was class-action lawsuit worthy because it is, in some form, discrimination. Anyone else feel the same? Thoughts are appreciated.
A few years back, this wasn't the case (there was no discrimination on what was covered based on your status as an active-duty member or otherwise). I guess this is the result of all those *wonderful* D.C. budget-cutting sessions. :flaming:
