Does TRICARE cover weight-loss programs?

Direct answer: TRICARE publishes separate rules for weight-management drugs and for other weight-loss services. A program, a drug, and a plan are three different questions.

Applies to: All TRICARE plans · All regions

Details

Read the official weight-loss products page first. Then ask your regional contractor whether the specific program or visit is covered and whether it needs prior authorization.

What to do next

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