Supplemental Insurance?

  No I don't.  Standard doesn't really cost us that much.  I'm not even sure it works out to $24 a month.  If it got to the point where the Standard cost sharing became a financial burden I would switch to Prime rather than spend money on another insurance.

  We don't supplement either.  It really hasn't cost us much money at all.  I pay a $20 co-pay for doctor visits.  With 4 kids, we just stagger their appointments.  The only thing we have supplemented is our dental because of braces for our older children.  The $20 extra a month has saved us over $5k.

  Ok, thanks, guys! I feel like I've gotten a bunch of bills since my daughter was born...$100 here, $50 there...all towards the deductible, I guess, so I thought I'd ask. Sounds like we should just stick with Standard. thanks!

  I would talk to Tricare and the doctor's billing office to see why you are being charged for things.  I never pay for more than the copay when things are medically necessary.

  Any thing that I have ever heard is that if you buy other insurance TRICARE becomes the supplemental insurance, the other insurance will pay first and then it gets billed to TRICARE.
