Please share any news... thanks.
Re: TriCare will cover breast pumps??
I found this on the Tricare website. It implies that they're not changing anything. They have not changed their page about breast pumps (here), and the page indicates that it was updated today (Aug 1st).
So my interpretation is that the answer is still no.
There were at least two posts about this recently, so look for those posts to see if someone has heard otherwise.
In all honesty, your best bet is just to call them. As fun as it is, it's the only way to get a definite answer.
It took them a while to insitute the Young Adult Program, so I'm sure any changes will take some time.

I had my baby 6 months ago and TriCare covered the pump for me.
jackiea82 - Did you have problems with latching or have a rx written? Or did they just outright cover it just because? That's awesome if so!
