Uncovered Services and Supplies

TRICARE doesn’t cover services and supplies:

  • From a scientific or medical study, grant, or research program
  • Provided for free
  • That would be free if you or your sponsor weren’t eligible for TRICARE
  • Such as inpatient stays directed or agreed to by a court or other government agency, unless medically necessary
  • Needed for an occupational disease or injury when worker’s compensation or a similar law can pay for them. The exception is if you’ve exhausted those benefits.
  • That any other health insurance can pay for. TRICARE will be the secondary payer for any remaining charges.
