Tricare Reserve Select and PG at 35

david_n_cole

I will be 35 in less than a month and 6 wks pg now.  I am considered high-risk (11 pg, 3 children) without my age being a factor.  In the past pgs, there really hasn't been much issues with getting tests if needed, but my PCP was also my OB.  This time around, it's a different group taking care of me as she is too far away for me to get to when I go into labor.  I have heard most insurance comp will allow for earlier/extra tests if mom will be 35 or older by delivery.  Any experience with this situation and Tricare Reserve Select?

I believe tricare will cover them being that you are high risk. If you go on the tricare website it has a list of what's covered and what's not along with exceptions.

I've been looking, but having issues locating the information list like when Tricare was not United.  United's site is a bit confusing and much of it is out of date.  How is that even possible?

I don't have any experience with high-risk pregnancies, but for my pregnancy, Tri-Care Reserve Select covered everything that my doctor ordered. All we paid was $34 for 2 nights in the hospital. So if your doctor thinks you need more test or services, I don't see why it wouldn't be covered.

I would call them and ask.

I think the new Tricare website is actually better than the old one. Let me get the link to the maternity coverage for you

obviously your coverage is going to vary depending on the plan and where you are located (hence the first screen asking for your zipcode)

I would just call and speak with someone
