Description

TRCWHONW indicates the line number of the policyholder of the respondent's current TRICARE coverage for those who have TRICARE insurance through a household member.

TRCWHONW 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.
