TRICARE Supplement Insurance Plan

A Voluntary Employee Benefit for
Employees of the City of Jacksonville

TRICARE + TRICARE Supplement Insurance Plan

Families who are eligible for government-sponsored TRICARE health insurance can get help saving on co-pays, prescriptions, and cost shares. A TRICARE Supplement Insurance Plan helps reimburse you for covered expenses that TRICARE doesn't pay.

  • TRICARE is the Department of Defense’s healthcare program for military personnel and their families. More than seven million Americans are eligible to participate in this type of coverage. All TRICARE plans satisfy requirements for minimum essential coverage under the Affordable Care Act (ACA). Learn more at tricare.mil.
  • A TRICARE Supplement Insurance Plan is a voluntary benefit program that covers many of the charges the government leaves behind. It helps employees (TRICARE beneficiaries), spouses, and dependents limit their out-of-pocket expenses

(Note: The pre-tax benefit is available if premium payments are set up as a payroll deducted benefit.)
