TRICARE vs. VA Community Care

TRICARE West Region

TriWest manages the TRICARE West Region, which includes California. If you have TRICARE coverage in the West Region, NuView can verify whether your specific plan provides in-network access to our behavioral health services.

VA Community Care Network (CCN)

TriWest also administers the VA Community Care Network in Region 4. VA Community Care is separate from TRICARE and serves eligible Veterans who are authorized to receive care from community providers.

If your care is being arranged through the VA rather than your TRICARE benefits, our team can help you determine which coverage and authorization process applies.

Does TRICARE Cover Behavioral Health Treatment?

TRICARE provides coverage for mental health and substance use disorder treatment, with specific benefits and requirements depending on your plan and beneficiary status.

Covered care may include outpatient mental health services and treatment for substance use disorders. Some higher levels of care may have additional referral or authorization requirements.

TRICARE Coverage for Military Families

TRICARE covers more than the service member. Eligible spouses and children who are registered as TRICARE beneficiaries are covered as well, depending on their plan.

Eligible adult spouses and adult dependents may be able to use their coverage for outpatient mental health and substance use treatment at NuView, whether the care is for you or for a loved one who is struggling.

The same goes for retirees, National Guard and Reserve members, and their qualifying family members.

Specific plans and requirements depend on the sponsor's military status and the beneficiary's coverage.

TRICARE Plan Types

TRICARE plans include Prime, Select, Reserve Select, Retired Reserve, and Young Adult.

Which one you have depends on your sponsor's military status and where you live, and referral and authorization requirements depend on both your plan and the type of care:

Outpatient mental health

Therapy and medication management generally do not require a referral under TRICARE Prime or Select.

Substance use treatment

Outpatient treatment for a substance use disorder through a substance use disorder rehabilitation facility may require a referral and pre-authorization.

PHP and IOP

Authorization requirements can vary based on your plan and regional contractor.

Our admissions team verifies which plan you have and what applies to your care before treatment begins.

What to Expect: Costs & Copays

Because TRICARE benefits vary by plan and beneficiary status, your deductible, copay, coinsurance, and other out-of-pocket costs may depend on the specific coverage you have.

Rather than estimate a general amount that may not apply to you, our admissions team can verify your benefits and help you understand what costs may apply before treatment begins.
