TriCare (used to be called CHAMPUS) is what military, family members, retirees, reserve components, etc. use for medical care when military facilities are not available. As a retired soldier I've been using TriCare since 2003.

The care my wife and I get from OHSU (my TriCare provider) is great, my copays are reasonable and it appears that bills are paid quickly. Of course, the payment rate is the same as Medicare so I can see why some Drs/clinics may not want to sign up a lot of TriCare patients.
