The Tricare Supplemental Insurance Program is sponsored by the Retired Associates for the Uniformed Services, and is underwritten by the Hartford Life Insurance Company. ASI, the administrator of the program, reportedly leads the pack when providing corporate TRICARE Supplemental coverage for retired military employees and their dependents.
