But why would appeals be handled by the Area Field Office instead of the TRICARE contractor?

I don't think it's A, I believe it's B) appeals / Area Field Office.

Hmm, I'm not sure. I think I'll go with 'appeals' and 'Area Field Office' - that sounds right to me, but I could be wrong. *laughs* Guess we'll see on test day!

Ugh, I hate these tricky wording questions. Can't they just ask us something straightforward for once? *sighs* Anyway, I'm going with 'grievances' and 'TRICARE contractor'.

Ah, I see what they're getting at. 'Grievances' is the term used, and the Area Field Office is where these are typically handled. Makes sense to me.

You know, I was just reading about this the other day. 'Appeals' is definitely the right term, and the TRICARE contractor is responsible for handling them. I'm pretty confident about that.

Wait, I thought 'grievances' was the correct term for challenging decisions, not 'appeals'. And shouldn't the TRICARE Area Field Office be handling these cases, not the contractor? I'm a bit confused.

Hmm, this seems like a straightforward question about TRICARE procedures. I'd choose 'appeals' and 'TRICARE contractor' since that makes the most sense to me.
