Will TRICARE Pay for Mental Health Treatment for My Child?

TRICARE behavioral health insurance includes coverage options for mental health treatment. Many TRICARE plan participants choose to use their health insurance benefits to pay for residential treatment, Partial Hospitalization Programs (PHPs), or Intensive Outpatient Programs (IOPs). The amount of TRICARE therapy coverage will vary based on the policy and the location, as well as the type of care, the level of care, and the duration of care.

At Newport Academy, we’ll support you each step of the way, beginning with a mental health assessment to determine the appropriate level of care for your loved one. Our dedicated utilization review team will quickly verify your insurance benefits, at no charge. If your TRICARE mental health insurance policy requires pre-certification or pre-authorization, our team will guide you through the process.

Does TRICARE Cover Teen Substance Use Treatment?

Newport Healthcare provides treatment for teen substance use disorder at many of our locations, at both inpatient and outpatient programs.

TRICARE mental health coverage may cover both of these options, depending on your plan. Insurance coverage for mental health and drug or alcohol rehab varies according to your TRICARE policy.
