American families with military health insurance may be more likely to experience difficulties with access to healthcare than civilian families with other types of medical benefits, a U.S. study suggests.

"Relocation, a common phenomenon in military families, is associated with disruption of care and the need for re-establishment of care in the new location," Chaudhary said by email."This may prevent these patients from getting the integrated healthcare experience that they need." Typical kids who don't have chronic physical health issues may indeed have an easier time getting care through Tricare than with other insurance, some previous research has found.

"It's possible that the offices that children in Tricare receive care through are less accessible, but it is also possible that parents don't know whether their child's office offers these options," said Dr. Joe Zickafoose, a senior researcher with Mathematica and a primary care pediatrician at Vanderbilt University Medical Center in Nashville, Tennessee.
