Does TRICARE cover erectile dysfunction treatment?

Direct answer: Only when the cause is organic (such as a vascular condition, diabetic neuropathy, spinal cord injury, or thyroid disease) — erectile dysfunction from psychological or psychiatric causes like depression, anxiety, or stress is not covered.

Applies to: All TRICARE plans · All regions

Details

Prescription medication coverage is generally limited to six tablets per month, and prior authorization is required before receiving treatment from a military treatment facility or regional call center. Bring documentation of the underlying organic cause to your appointment, since that’s what determines coverage.

What to do next

Confirm this with your Primary Care Manager or regional contractor before scheduling — rules can vary by region and by service.
