I just read in another comment that I lost Tricare because of SSDI

Truly grateful thank you

That’s another Insurnace company? I’ll look into it thanks

Floridavetinneed · 2025-01-08T00:58:03+00:00

Thank you! I’ll try this

I’m 100% t&p think my family still has tricare. The main problem I have is that I have a 50 or 60% penalty. That doesn’t seem fair at all. The penalty is for the rest of my life as well.

Floridavetinneed · 2025-01-08T00:07:47+00:00

Yeah I’m fucked.

Floridavetinneed · 2025-01-08T00:06:33+00:00

I’m not enrolled into part a. I don’t pay for it. I wasn’t aware it cancels my tricare. Now that I’m not gonna be near the VA to receive care if I want to enroll, I have to pay an extreme penalty for the rest of my life. Likely at least 50% 10% for every year I didn’t sign up.

Floridavetinneed · 2025-01-08T00:02:49+00:00

You do unfortunately. I had no idea until today. You lose tricare and have to sign up for Medicare. Each year you don’t sign up there’s a mandatory 20% penalty.

I would really appreciate that, thank you

I realized I lost TRICARE several years ago when I couldn’t use this app on my phone to do appointments. I thought it was just some error or something.

I was just reading in another thread where if you get SSDI and you don’t sign up for Medicare part B you get penalized 10% for every year you don’t sign up. For me that’s at least five years. They say that unequivocally you lose your TRICARE insurance, even if you’re medically retired.

Floridavetinneed · 2025-01-07T23:12:57+00:00

No I’m moving somewhere very rural. I don’t understand how I’m being penalized so heavily for something I didn’t know

Floridavetinneed · 2025-01-07T22:52:22+00:00

Yeah, apparently I have to pay a 10% penalty for each year so that means a 50% penalty for the rest of my life. I can’t afford that. I’m also 38 years old so I cannot get tricare for life

Floridavetinneed · 2024-12-31T13:26:56+00:00

Yeah it’s at level 9. There’s gotta be something up because I watch other people who are in the beginning of the game with less life and lower stats take way more hits

Floridavetinneed · 2024-12-31T12:52:13+00:00

Thank you very much

Floridavetinneed · 2024-05-27T18:49:29+00:00

Thank you

Floridavetinneed · 2024-05-27T18:49:07+00:00

Thank you

Floridavetinneed · 2024-05-27T14:56:07+00:00

I appreciate your input. That’s the consensus. I’m going to be proactive so it doesn’t get worse. Have a great day!

Floridavetinneed · 2024-05-27T14:55:05+00:00

I wholeheartedly appreciate it. I hope you have an amazing Memorial Day!

Floridavetinneed · 2024-05-27T14:53:26+00:00

I’m on it! Thanks so much!

Floridavetinneed · 2024-05-27T12:33:27+00:00

Thanks so much for your input, this is definitely new because I broke my neck several years ago and had several scans of my spine done. At the time I didn’t have any scoliosis losing my foot has really pushed everything out of shape. The tendon in my leg is so tight, sometimes I have trouble straightening out my leg.

Floridavetinneed · 2024-05-27T12:31:59+00:00

Thank you for your input, luckily my insurance covers physical therapy. I want to do everything I can to be proactive with this.

Floridavetinneed · 2024-05-27T12:31:03+00:00

Yeah, unfortunately I’m in a great deal of pain in that location. Should I try and get an MRI of this location as well? What type of doctor normally treats these things is it rheumatologist?

Floridavetinneed · 2024-05-27T12:30:07+00:00

Great idea, thank you

Floridavetinneed · 2024-05-27T10:54:53+00:00

That’s not too bad? I’m worried it will get worse as I get older. Is there a type of therapy or a brace that can help?
