I wish it (Tricare Standard) covered chiropractic and glasses/contacts. My only real surprise moving from civilian coverage. Other than that, I have been very happy with it. Then again, I am not a high demand user. (Tricare Active for me, Standard/Prime for the wife.)

Yes, they should. The VA is often very understaffed for things like acupuncture. We have one acupuncture provider at the Pittsburgh VA so our clinic signed up for Veterans Choice to get vets more access for this service. Maj Kim Patterson

Absolutely. MDs and DOs have long held this belief that medicine began and ended with them. The use of chiropractic, homeopathy, acupuncture, to mention a few, have had dramatic and very positive impacts on health care, and those fields should be heartily embraced by the larger medical community.
