So this is getting a little weird however I have things figured out. I want everyone to know what worthless crap Tricare international coverage is. This is how they cover you overseas. Something goes wrong and for whatever reason you need to be hospitalized. In which case, you pay upfront for your hospitalization and everything that happens during it, take the bill home with you and submit it to Tricare for reimbursement.

I actually laughed when I was on the phone with the Tricare rep. because hypothetically speaking, I could be in hock to NHS for let's say 20K for hospitalization, not be able to pay it on the spot, get discharged to a UK jail and sit there rot.
Again,

Anyway, emergency care in the UK is completely free to visitors, I know where to go to get help and my travel insurance covers any possible hospitalization and dental emergency.
But isn't ironic how one can serve their country for x number of years, eventually moving on to Tricare and find out that if you want to travel internationally--it's really a giant kick in the butt?
Thank you for your service. You bet.
