Under TRICARE Standard, what are the allowable costs for outpatient care for active duty families?

The correct option indicates that under TRICARE Standard, active duty families are responsible for paying 20 percent of the approved allowable costs for outpatient care, as TRICARE covers 80 percent of those costs. This is designed to provide a balance between ensuring service members and their families have access to necessary healthcare services while also involving them in some share of the healthcare costs.

Active duty families benefit from this structure, as it allows them to receive significant financial support for their medical expenses. The 80 percent coverage is part of TRICARE's commitment to provide comprehensive healthcare to military families while encouraging responsible medical use by requiring them to cover a portion of the costs. The other choices do not accurately reflect the TRICARE Standard coverage percentages, which is why they are not correct.
