In TRICARE, what is the maximum annual deductible for an individual?

In TRICARE, the maximum annual deductible for an individual is indeed $250. This amount is an important aspect of TRICARE's cost-sharing structure, which applies to beneficiaries using TRICARE prime and select plans. The deductible is the amount that a beneficiary must pay out-of-pocket for healthcare services before TRICARE begins to cover the costs. Understanding this deductible helps beneficiaries plan for their healthcare expenses and manage their budgets effectively.

Additionally, it's worth noting that there are higher deductible amounts for family coverage, which reflects the plan's design to accommodate different family sizes and healthcare needs. This structure aims to balance affordability and access to care for all beneficiaries.
