A former Captain in the U.S. Navy, David Schnell now serves as vice president of operations for the electronic tolling collection division of Xerox’s Americas Commercial and State Government Transportation Group. Still true to his military roots, Captain David Schnell maintains membership in the Veterans of Foreign Wars (VFW) Post 15005.
As a result of a strong push from the VFW and other service-based advocacy groups, the Defense Health Agency announced in January 2018 that the costs for TRICARE will be going down this year. For active duty service personnel who were in the military prior to January 1, 2018, primary care copays have been cut to $21, down from $27, and retired personnel will now pay $28 for primary visits instead for $35. Other medical services have also seen their costs reduced under the new plan. Patients who start their military service after January 1, 2018, will be subject to a fee schedule outlined in the 2017 National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA).
