Military Families Support Group
Today's military family faces a lifestyle that is comprised of frequent deployments, which results in increased family separations. This often proves to be a stressful challenge for military families. This community is dedicated to the families that are dealing with the unique challenges of distance and military-related stress.
My dad has been in the navy since before I was born so I've always had tricare and was under his insurance and stuff, so medical was always affordable. I'm still under it since I'm a full time student, but what do I do after that goes away? Does anyone who's retired or has been off of a members insurance know how to adjust to having civilian health insurance? I think I still have a few years, but I'm curious.
I was a military dependent under my dad too. I was able to keep my health insurance until I was 23 because I was going to school. However, I believe the age has possibly changed. When I lost my health insurance through tricare I was able to obtain health insurance from my employer. Fortunately, my employer offered great health coverage at no cost to the employee. Later down the road I ended up marrying a military man and regaining my tricare coverage. Good luck to you!
