I use primarily the Company's but also use Tricare Standard. I've found that to be the best combination for my situation. Hope that helps.

I max out on both...Tricare prime only costs $400+ per year for a family before taxes....pretty cheap catastrophic insurance...I've used both SWA and Tricare over the past few years...of course I will reconsider if those knuckleheads in OSD get away with their proposal to triple the cost for "young" retiree's (under 65)

Both em'

In the immortal words of Deon Sanders from his old Pizza Hut commercials, "both em'".

I use SWA United Health Care as my primary and then use Tricare Standard (no cost right now) as my supplement insurance. Sometimes the doctors office doesn't even ask for a co-pay until they have filed with both. So far no big problems unless the doctors office tries to file under the wrong name with Tricare.

I use the company and tricare prime due to some pre-existing conditions for my wife. An option to look at is company and buy the MOAA supplement. They will pick up what UHC doesn't cover.
