What is TRICARE's current gender-affirming care policy?

Direct answer: The Defense Health Agency sets this policy, and it changes. Read the current covered-services page and ask your regional contractor before you schedule. This listing is not a coverage approval.

Applies to: All TRICARE plans · All regions

Details

Do not rely on an older article for which services are covered, which ages qualify, or whether a referral is required. Those details have changed more than once.

Start with the official covered-services list, then call the contractor for your plan if a specific procedure or prescription is already scheduled.

What to do next

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