Does TRICARE cover a second opinion?

Direct answer: A second medical opinion can be covered when your plan allows that visit. Prime may still require a referral. This page does not promise that every second opinion is paid.

Applies to: All TRICARE plans · All regions

Details

Ask your contractor before the visit. The official rule lives on the covered services list. Bring the first opinion and the question you want answered.

What to do next

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