Description

TRCWHO1 indicates the line number of the policyholder of the respondent's TRICARE coverage for those who had marketplace insurance through a household member last year.

TRCWHO1 is a pointer value that allows researchers to link a dependent covered by TRICARE insurance to the household member who was the policyholder of that insurance, using information in the LINENO variable.

TRICARE, formerly known as CHAMPUS, provides civilian health benefits for U.S. armed forces personnel, military retirees, and their dependents. Beginning in 2019, TRICARE is considered private coverage.
