What kind of expenses can be covered under AER assistance related to medical needs?

The choice regarding covering the portion not covered by Tri-Care is correct because the Army Emergency Relief (AER) assistance is designed to provide financial help for essential needs that are not fully met by available resources. Tri-Care, which is the healthcare program for military members, often covers a significant amount of medical expenses; however, there may be gaps in coverage for certain services, co-pays, or deductibles. AER can assist military personnel by helping with these out-of-pocket costs, allowing them to receive necessary care without financial hardship.

In contrast, the other options either overstate the coverage (such as full dental and medical costs and healthcare premiums) or limit it too narrowly (only emergency medical expenses). AER's purpose is not to cover comprehensive medical expenses fully but rather to address unmet needs. Hence, addressing the portion not covered by Tri-Care aligns with the mission of AER to support military personnel in managing their financial difficulties concerning healthcare.
