Every May, we recognize the strength, sacrifice, and resilience of military spouses.
They are the backbone of military families—managing households, raising children, and supporting their loved ones through deployments and relocations. At GEA, we believe one of the best ways to show appreciation for military spouses is by ensuring they have access to reliable, affordable health care coverage.
The Hidden Costs of TRICARE
TRICARE is a valuable benefit for military families, but it doesn’t cover everything. Many families are surprised by the out-of-pocket costs they face—like copayments, cost-shares, and prescription drug costs. These expenses can add up quickly, especially when managing chronic conditions or medications like Ozempic or insulin. Learn more about how to maximize your prescription coverage with TRICARE Supplement here!
What Is a TRICARE Supplement Insurance Plan?
A TRICARE Supplement Insurance Plan is designed to work alongside your TRICARE coverage. It helps reimburse many of the out-of-pocket costs that TRICARE doesn’t fully cover. That includes expenses like the following:
- TRICARE copayments and cost-shares
- Prescription drug costs
- Hospital stays and specialist visits
- Extended or repeated treatments for ongoing health needs
By reducing or eliminating many of these surprise expenses, a supplement plan can offer peace of mind—especially for spouses who are managing the family’s day-to-day needs.
Why Now Is a Great Time to Review Your Coverage
Spring is a season of renewal—and it’s the perfect time to take stock of your family’s health insurance. If you or your spouse recently transitioned out of active duty, changed jobs, or had a change in family status, reviewing your TRICARE coverage and considering a supplement plan can make a big difference in your financial wellness.
Support for Military Families, All Year Long
Military Spouse Appreciation Month is just one time of year when we pause to say thank you. But GEA is here year-round to support military families with resources and solutions that protect your health, your finances, and your future.
