Texas AG investigates TriWest over alleged wrongful TRICARE claim denials

Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton opened an investigation into TriWest Healthcare Alliance for allegedly wrongfully denying TRICARE claims. The probe examines whether TriWest's practices violated state consumer protection laws regarding military families' healthcare coverage. For practices serving TRICARE patients through TriWest, monitor the investigation's findings for potential shifts in denial patterns or appeal requirements. Document all TRICARE claim denials and appeal decisions meticulously. The outcome could influence TriWest's internal review processes and create new appeal opportunities for previously denied claims.
