A special ‘Thank You’ to the people who have taken the time to send in experiences. This has helped me greatly. I want to continue taking responses and try to open this site up as more of a sounding board and allow everyone to read what is being said about Tricare to study a correlation between problems. Please continue to write me. (Remember: I will only post your experience with your explicit permission).
Thanks again!

Hello everyone,
My name is Daniel Reed and I am a graduate student at Texas State University – San Marcos. I am seeking people who are covered by the military’s primary insurance system–TRICARE. I am collecting stories and experiences that people have with the military insurance system for my research and eventually what might become my thesis. This is just preliminary information in order to explore valid research questions. As it is common that people who respond to experience surveys usually respond negatively, I am strongly encouraging good experiences be submitted for this reason as well. If you would like to share your experience with the TRICARE health system please email them to me at danielreed@txstate.edu. If you find it easier to post a comment rather than emailing your reponse you are more than welcome to do that as well. At the bottom of the page you should see “leave a comment”.
Instructions for submitting a experience:
Please state your name and where you live (you can also remain anonymous). Then please describe your experience stating as accurately as you can response times and dates as best you can. Written responses can be as exhaustive as you like. I am also taking youtube videos as part of my research presentation so if you would like to do that please contact me and I can give you further instructions on how to do that. If you are already familiar with youtube you can post the video and send me the link (please keep the video under 3 minutes if you choose to make a video).
More information about my research:
My research is specifically for Dr. Balanoff’s Organizational Theory class at Texas State University – San Marcos. It will use empirical experience observations as well as survey data using a likert scale survey format. In my findings, I will attempt to display customer satisfaction, quality of coverage, customer service, and ease of information access. Also the data I collect will also be coupled with previous studies and surveys provided by the Department of Defense.
