Tricare and Elective Inductions

Hi ladies - question for those under Tricare Prime. 

My husband and I are due to PCS from Fort Huachuca to Drum and just received orders that constitute a move-out date of December 18th. I'm currently due December 12th, and my though we filed for a deferment, it was denied. My OB is not comfortable with either me or the baby traveling so soon after delivery - especially as it will be 6 days even if baby IS 100% on time. He's recommending a scheduled induction for the 1st of December, but I was wondering whether any of you happened to know whether Tricare Prime covers elective inductions?

Thanks so much!

    They do.  However, please keep in mind that more than half of all inductions end in c section.  If that happens, you more than likely won't be traveling by Dec 18th.

    Thank you. We did look, but we didn't see it. My OB has scheduled a mandatory induction.
