Military families need a locator path, not only a benefits essay. Coverage concepts live on /insurance/tricare/ and does TRICARE cover rehab. This page is the near-me journey.
Call 911 for emergencies. Call or text 988 for a crisis.
Start with your exact TRICARE product
Prime, Select, and other products differ. Use the official directory and the behavioral health number tied to your card. Ask facilities for your plan name, not only "Do you take TRICARE?"
Authorization before travel
Residential and detox levels often need approval. Get the authorization reference before you fly. Brokers who skip this step create unpaid stays.
Active duty versus family members
Active duty may need command and military medical coordination. Do not let a civilian salesperson override that process.
Next step
Directory search, facility verification calls, then call or text (800) 653-9376 for help listing questions. We are a referral helpline. We cannot authorize TRICARE care.
