TRICARE Implements Enhanced Coverages

TRICARE will implement coverage for anesthesia services and associated costs for dental treatment for beneficiaries with developmental, mental or physical disabilities, and children age 5 or under beginning July 1, 2007. Additionally, TRICARE encourages beneficiaries who received these services between Oct. 17, 2006 and July 1, 2007 to contact their TRICARE regional contractor for help with reimbursement. The change in statute does not provide coverage for the actual dental care services, which are available through the TRICARE Dental Program and the TRICARE Retiree Dental Program.
