nity to walk into a painting by Monet. It is of course the similar structure that Van Gogh had.Forthosewhohavenotseenit,thewalls, thefloorareentirelycoveredwithprojections of Monet’s work all over so you are literally, truly surrounded by Monet’s work You can walk, dance and even twirl into it and take it allin Itreallyisanotherwayofexperiencing art.

TRICARE How-To: Filing claims and reimbursements
ByTRICARECommunications

A medical claim is a paper or electronic formthatyousubmittoTRICAREforreimbursement
“All TRICARE network providers have agreed to participate on all claims That means their office will always file claims for you, and TRICARE will pay them directly,” said Jody Donehoo, chief of the TRICARE Customer Support Division at the Defense Health Agency. “But non-network TRICARE providers can choose not to participate on a case-by-case basis. Just be sure your non-network provider is TRICARE-authorized—askthem!”
If you’re uncertain about the claims and reimbursements process, here are some commonquestionsandhelpfultips.
Q: What does it mean when a non-network provider doesn’t participate on a claim?
A:Ifyourproviderchoosesnottoparticipate on a particular claim, you may need to pay theproviderupfront.You’llthenneedtofile a claim with your TRICARE contractor for reimbursement.
You should know that non-network TRICARE-authorizedprovidersareallowed to require payment up front when they see you. However, many providers will wait for payment until after they send you a bill or invoice

Get care overseas: Different TRICARE plans have different rules for getting care when traveling overseas If you need to file aclaimforcareyoureceivedoverseas,you’ll file the claim with the TRICARE Overseas contractor InternationalSOS

functions really in the same way a music soundtrack does It really, really carries the narrative. We also used the same composer that we worked with, Beyond Van Gogh, Jean-Sébastien Côté here in Montreal, Canada and he created the music entirely from scratch. It provides this dreamlike quality and an intensity because it is about showingthatMonetwasnotthisquietman justpaintingasahobby.Hewaspassionate, hewasdestroyinghisownpaintings,fighting against elements The music helps to transfer and communicate that there are a lot of things happening in these paintings and structuring the emotional guideline that goes through the show
Y: With over 2000 Monet works of art, how were 400 of his works chosen to be showcased here?
FC: It was quite a puzzle actually Not even counting the sketches, we indeed looked at over 2000 oil paintings Monet stayed true to his quest of painting not necessarily what was in front of him but more so the air between the thing and what was in front of him. This impossible quest landed him in painting theories and trying to explore different things So
we chose paintings that of course people would recognize like the Lady With The Parasol”, “The Water Lilies” and “The Poppies”.Wealsochosethemeslike…dayto day life which was so radical at the time to notpaintagreathistoricalbattlefieldbutto paintyourwifeandchildhavingbreakfast. Another scene was about progress Monet was obsessed with trains and how quick they were We went about choosing paintings that would represent different axes that would help people navigate through his work and have a better understanding of who he was as an artist.
Y: Speaking about Monet as an artist, did you learn something about Monet that perhaps you did not know before working on this project?
FC: When you learn about artists in our degree, you learn about them in the theoreticalaspect.It’sreallyrarethatyougetto deepdiveintotheirpersonallivesandwhat madethemtick.Ilearnedforexamplethat helikedtofollowthecycleoftheseasonand adapting his mood to the weather He also hadastrongtemperbutatthesametimehe wasaverylovingfatherfiguretoablended family of eight kids and he painted his dining room this bright canary yellow and painted his kitchen a powder blue which was unheard of at the time He was a man thatlivedforcolorandfornature.Through
and through, that’s whohewas.Hewas aboutcolor Andthe effort he put into his garden, it was a work of art. All that was fascinating to me
For the last 30 years of his life, he only painted the water lilies in his pond that was in his garden. He loved his garden so much that when he passedaway,heputintohiswillthathedid notwantanyflowersforhisfuneralservice becausehewassoafraidtheywouldcutthe flowers from his garden
Y: If you could go back in time and you could ask Monet in person one question, what would that question be? FC:Thatisanexcellentquestion.Ithink I would ask him, what does he see in his pond? He painted that pond for 30 years I amprettysurethatatthatpoint,itbecomes something else so I would love to know what he saw in the reflection of the pond.
