Congratulations. You have discovered that you are expanding your family, but you need help navigating the military insurance system and don’t know where to turn.
Dr. Nicola Cherry of The Children’s Clinic of Klamath is a board-certified pediatric doctor and native of Klamath Falls, OR. She helps military families navigate Tricare military insurance coverage during maternity care.
Tricare is the official coverage of United States military families, whether active or retired. Coverage is available to eligible individuals and families in the United States and internationally and extends to medical, dental, and vision.
Depending on where you live, inside or outside the United States, your insurance plan may cover all of your prenatal care during pregnancy under Tricare. There are different plans and coverages. All care is coordinated through a Primary Care Manager (PCM).
Internationally, you can use any authorized Tricare facility but must pay for services upfront and file all claims for reimbursement yourself. Certain territories can charge you over the fee allowance for Tricare, and you are responsible for payment.
During childbirth, all medically necessary costs are covered, including anesthesia and necessary cesarian sections. If a C-section is your choice, you must pay some charges.
Your insurance will cover a hospital stay of two days for a natural birth and three days for a C-section. Learning how your insurance works makes your pregnancy and birth smoother and stress-free.
Call Dr. Cherry at her practice, The Children’s Clinic of Klamath, in Klamath Falls, OR, at 541-884-1224, and we will help your military family with prenatal care.
