Tricare promises to provide health benefits to millions of active-duty service members, veterans and their families.<\/p>\n
But in recent months, NBC News has uncovered a slew of complaints about the U.S. military\u2019s healthcare program as part of our \u201cCost of Denial\u201d series<\/a>, which examines coverage refusals and other insurance-related problems.<\/p>\n Many people who receive healthcare through Tricare say their issues began when the military switched the companies that administer the program at the start of 2025.<\/p>\n After NBC News reported on one veteran whose claims were repeatedly denied<\/a>, delaying crucial care after his cancer diagnosis, one of the contracted companies issued a public apology<\/a>, and Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton opened an investigation<\/a> into denied claims. <\/p>\n We are continuing to cover Tricare and want to hear about people\u2019s experiences.
