What are the annual enrollment fees for TRICARE Select?

The annual enrollment fees for TRICARE Select are generally structured to be lower for individual plans compared to family plans. This reflects the way health insurance plans often operate, where family coverage typically incurs higher costs due to the increased number of individuals being covered under one plan.

This pricing structure is designed to make it more affordable for individual beneficiaries while still allowing families the option for comprehensive coverage, albeit at a higher premium. It allows the program to cater to varying needs among beneficiaries — such as single service members or families — while also balancing coverage costs effectively.

In contrast, the reasoning behind the other choices does not align with the actual structure of TRICARE Select enrollment fees. For example, fees are not uniform across all beneficiaries but vary based on the type of plan selected (individual or family), so a single fee structure does not apply. Additionally, it is inaccurate to state that fees are higher for individuals than families or that they depend on the beneficiary's age, as the pricing model is entirely linked to the type of plan rather than demographic factors.
