tricare/counseling? - Military Benefits

Jodi · 12-23-2006, 07:34 PM

Obviously I am having a hard time dealing with all this crap, even though I know I am better off. I am sure it'll be a little better after the baby is born and I am less hormonal but I am just wondering if tricare covers counseling. I am not going crazy or anything I just think I could benifit from talking to someone. Does tricare cover it?

They should. I know they do counseling at the Family Resource Center at 32nd Street.

yup, just find someone that takes tricare, make an appt. the call tricare and let them know with who and when you have an appt. that is all i have ever had to do.

I'm in counseling through Family Support at the hospital here on base...

JudyB · 12-23-2006, 07:37 PM

I am pretty sure they do...if not, I do know that a lot of the bases or military welfare centers offer different things that might help...not sure what you are near though

Yes Tricare will cover it.

All you need to do is go on the Tricare site & do a provider search...then make your apt w/ whom you chose.

Or you can go on base to the family support.

I am no where near a base anymoe so I'll have to go see a civillian. One more question, whith Tricare Standard does the annual deductable start over again on January 1st or is in one year from the the time you have to pay it?

Aymber · 12-23-2006, 07:41 PM

YEs they do and you have 8 appointments a year where a referral is not required.

Rachael · 12-23-2006, 07:42 PM

I think it starts over at the anniversary date Jodi, so I dont think its January 1'st, but I could be wrong. I hope you find a good counselor!

Yes they do! I recommend going out in town rather than through Fleet & Family Services. They suck, since they're "kinda" doing it pro-bono...Tricare doesn't pay 'em!!!!!
