Tricare Reserve Select and PG at 35

david_n_cole · January 2014

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 United's site is a bit confusing and much of it is out of date.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.
