TRICARE policy for reimbursement requires that services must be medically necessary for a diagnosed medical or psychological disorder. The disorder must be one listed in DSM-IV and must be of a severity not only to cause the patient distress but also to interfere with the patient’s ability to carry out usual activities.TRICARE beneficiaries are eligible for eight behavioral health care visits per year without a referral or pre-authorization. Active duty military personnel always need a referral for care outside a military treatment facility.
