instructions: select the most appropriate response.

of the tricare options, which provides comprehensive health care benefits with the lowest out - of - pocket costs?
○ a. tricare select
○ b. tricare prime
○ c. tricare reserve select
○ d. tricare for life

Explanation:

TRICARE Prime is a managed care option. It has a network of providers. Enrollees have a primary care manager. It offers comprehensive benefits. And it generally has lower out - of - pocket costs compared to some other TRICARE options like TRICARE Select (which has more of a fee - for - service model with potentially higher out - of - pocket costs in some cases). TRICARE Reserve Select is for a specific group (Reservists not on active duty) and may not have the same level of comprehensiveness in all aspects as Prime for the general eligible population. TRICARE for Life is for Medicare - eligible beneficiaries and has its own cost - sharing structure which is different from what is typically considered the “lowest out - of - pocket” in the context of comprehensive benefits for the non - Medicare TRICARE population.

Answer:

b. TRICARE Prime
