2013 TRICARE Prime Fees
This week, the Department of Defense announced how much TRICARE Prime enrollees will pay in enrollment fees for FY2013.
The fees for the new year were limited by a MOAA-championed provision in the FY2012 Defense Authorization Act that capped annual Prime fee adjustments at the retired pay COLA percentage. The new law limited the Prime fee hike for next year to 3.6% – the same rate as the 2012 COLA.
The new fees for retirees, survivors and family members under 65 will be as follows, effective October 1, 2012:
AnnualQuarterlyMonthly
Individual $269.28 $67.32 $22.44
Family$538.56 $134.64 $44.88
