Here's the situation...
My husband is deployed and I'm in my home state (I was actually never able to move out by him because he deployed very shortly after we got married and I'm under a contract here).
When I first conceived and was going to the doctor, we were not married yet, so I did everything under my insurance (which I luckily have amazing insurance). However, the doctor my insurance covers is not one Tricare would cover. I would like to give birth at the hospital my doctor is at. Obviously I can and will bill my health insurance for the delivery but I was wondering if Tricare will also cover the delivery at this hospital (so I can bill them for whatever my insurance might not cover). I'm assuming they would because it is an emergency and it's not like I'm near a military hospital anyway.
Thoughts?
Re: Does Tricare cover delivery at any hospital?
Also, if the doctor is out of network and you are on Remote or Standard then Tricare will still cover a percentage i believe, but I have no idea what since I have never been in that situation. I would call Tricare and ask, they have always been very helpful when I have called with any questions.
the only reason i say prime is b/c from experience when i was put on dh's tricare they put me on standard remote and everytime i would go see the ob and other dr. about a week or so later we would receive a bill in the mail from the visit and also for any type of bloodwork that i had to have done...I would still reccomend that you call tricare and ask them what you should do about it.
I've never heard of standard remote. Prime remote yet. Also it could just be an issue with how your OB office was coding their bill.
