Fed Regist. 1998 Jul 7;63(129):36651.
This proposed rule modifies the TRICARE Prime enrollment for active duty families by specifying that the enrollment period is continuous rather than a 12 month enrollment period and it allows monthly installment payments of enrollment fees for those beneficiaries required to pay an annual fee in order to enroll in TRICARE Prime. These modifications are being made because TRICARE will soon be available wordwide for active duty family members.
本拟议规则对现役军人家庭的TRICARE Prime参保资格进行了修改,具体规定参保期为连续参保而非12个月的参保期,并且允许那些为了参保TRICARE Prime而需支付年费的受益人按月分期支付参保费用。之所以做出这些修改,是因为TRICARE很快将在全球范围内供现役军人家庭成员使用。
