Does TRICARE cover well-child visits?

Direct answer: Yes, at no cost — TRICARE covers well-child office visits, immunizations, and vision screenings from birth through age 6, on any plan.

Applies to: All TRICARE plans · All regions

Details

This is one of the few TRICARE benefits with truly no cost-sharing regardless of which plan you’re on. After age 6, routine checkups shift to the general Health Promotion and Disease Prevention (HP&DP) exam benefit, which covers one exam a year with no copay starting at age 6.
