TRICARE and VA coverage, explained plainly

Your TRICARE or VA benefits likely cover addiction treatment. This guide walks through what each plan covers, how to verify your specific coverage, and what to do if your claim is denied.

What TRICARE covers for addiction treatment

TRICARE covers medically necessary addiction treatment, including detox, residential rehab, partial hospitalization (PHP), intensive outpatient (IOP), and standard outpatient programs. What you pay depends on your specific plan, whether the provider is in-network, and whether prior authorization was obtained. Always confirm your coverage directly with TRICARE before beginning treatment.
