How does TRICARE cover women's health care?

Direct answer: Women's health services are covered when the specific service is on the official list for your plan. The diagnosis name is not itself an approval. Confirm the current rule on the official covered-services list before you schedule, and ask your regional contractor whether that service needs a referral or authorization.
