Under TRICARE Standard, what percentage of approved allowable costs for outpatient care do active duty families pay?

Under TRICARE Standard, active duty families are responsible for paying 20% of the approved allowable costs for outpatient care, meaning the plan covers 80% of those costs. This structure is designed to make healthcare accessible to military families while also encouraging them to seek necessary medical services. The percentage reflects the shared responsibility between TRICARE and the beneficiaries for outpatient care expenses, promoting cost-effective use of healthcare resources.

The options presented reflect various proportions of cost-sharing typically seen in different health plan structures; however, 80% coverage coupled with a 20% cost-sharing obligation accurately denotes the financial responsibility of active duty families under TRICARE Standard.
