A patient arrives for a scheduled surgery and presents an insurance card from TRICARE. As a medical assistant in charge of patient billing, you know that TRICARE is primarily for which of the following groups?
TRICARE is a health program for uniformed service members, retirees, and their families. It is essential for medical assistants to recognize different insurance types to manage billing efficiently and to know which services are covered under each plan. Medicare is for individuals 65 years or older or who meet other specific criteria; Medicaid/CHIP is for low-income individuals and families, and commercial insurance generally refers to private health insurance obtained individually or through employers.
