TriCare Insurance Card Confusion!?

I have TriCare Reserve Select under my husband whose in the NC National Guard. My question: Do I use my Dependant Military ID card as my insurance card? I know I can just use my sponsors/ his SSN but the offices I've been to which accept TriCare, seem confuse when I just give them his SSN. So should I start giving then my Military ID? And in regards of filling out paperwork that asks for the policy # and group # etc.. Do I leave all of this blank? Or does any numbers on my ID card take the place of those? I noticed on my ID card there is a DoD #, on the back is s Benefits # & also on the back it says Medical: With active duty orders for over 30 days. (Note I got my ID and was enrolled in Deer's about a year ago but only got insurance starting this past March. Any info will be VERY helpful!

    ID card can be the Tricare card or you can have been issued one as they do issue one in many areas. The DoD # is now used in place of SSN on the ID card but you still need to use the SSN as the policy number. If they have a problem then they need to call Tricare themselves.

    Your ID card will suffice.

    Tricare does not issue insurance cards. your DD1172 is your insurance card.
