What program partners with Medicare to provide health coverage for eligible TRICARE beneficiaries?

The program that partners with Medicare to provide health coverage for eligible TRICARE beneficiaries is TRICARE for Life. This program acts as a secondary payer to Medicare, meaning that it helps cover costs that Medicare does not fully pay for, such as deductibles and coinsurance.

TRICARE for Life is specifically designed for retired service members and their eligible family members who are also enrolled in Medicare. This partnership allows beneficiaries to benefit from comprehensive health coverage, ensuring they have access to both Medicare's benefits and the additional coverage provided by TRICARE.

Other TRICARE programs, such as TRICARE Prime, TRICARE Select, and TRICARE Reserve Select, serve different populations and have distinct eligibility requirements and services but do not share the specific Medicare partnership that TRICARE for Life does.
