Why is "MC Palmetto GBA A B" in the Army Retiree Champus/Tricare system?

SFC Ralph E Kelley — Fri, 30 Dec 2022 00:21:27 -0500

Palmetto GBA is the Railroad Retirement Board Specialty Medicare Administrative Contactor (RRB SMAC). They process Part B fee-for-service claims for Railroad Medicare beneficiaries nationwide.
Recently hospitals have been 'bumping' the US Military' Retiree Medicare and Tricare under their 'Umbrella'.
This is the same company that manages the one Biden is wanting to bailout.

Hospitals are to utilize MEDICARE FIRST to pay for services. TRICARE is the secondary insurance and does not pay until MEDICARE. I don't know where you are getting your information. Are you trying to make a political point for or against Biden?
