AFA TRICARE Supplement Rates

You will be billed quarterly.

Rates are based on attained age on the premium due date of each covered person.

NOTE: You will be billed quarterly. To calculate premiums quarterly, semi-annually or annually, just multiply your monthly premium by 3, 6 or 12 respectively.

Premiums shown are Per Person – Premiums increase based on your effective date of coverage and as you move from one age bracket to another. The insurance company reserves the right to change benefits or premiums on a group wide basis. Rates and/or benefits may be changed on a class basis. Rates are based on the attained age of the Insured Person.

**Newborn children not named in your enrollment form are automatically covered from birth for injury or sickness, including treatment of congenital defects and birth abnormalities, for 31 days. You must notify the Plan Administrator in writing and pay the additional premium due within 31 days of birth for coverage to continue beyond this period. Insured children who are incapable of self-sustaining employment because of mental retardation or physical disability - and who are unmarried and chiefly dependent on the insured member for support and maintenance - may continue coverage past policy age limits, with requested proof. Otherwise, each dependent child's insurance terminates on the premium due date following the date he or she is no longer a dependent.
