I chose to go with Tricare Prime, not Tricare for Life which is typically for retirees. My Tricare premium for the entire family is roughly $600 annually.

No, Tricare for Life is for older retirees. I think it is a supplement to Medicare.

I am 57, currently on Tricare Prime. I am told I have to go Tricare for Life when I am 65.

Is this true, or can I stay on Tricare Prime?

Tricare for Life is for Medicare eligible retirees.

Medicare pays it’s usual amount, Tricare picks up the rest. My Mom is Tricare for Life. recently had cancer surgery along with chemo. She didn’t have to pay a dime.
