My experience with the co-payment has been a challenge with my insurance company. Tri-Care wanted to speak to someone in the office but no one at the office wanted to speak with Tri-Care, they referred me to the billing department in which the billing department referred me to the Office MGR. My payment is not resolved, this is the 2nd time this has happened from Wellstar Cardio.
