What is an important aspect of TRICARE's mental health coverage?

An important aspect of TRICARE's mental health coverage is the access beneficiaries have to a variety of treatment options, including inpatient services. This comprehensive approach ensures that individuals can receive the most appropriate level of care based on their specific mental health needs. TRICARE recognizes that mental health care may often require different modalities of treatment, ranging from outpatient visits to intensive inpatient care, depending on the severity of the condition being treated.

By providing access to both outpatient and inpatient services, TRICARE ensures that beneficiaries have the flexibility to choose the treatment that best suits their circumstances. This comprehensive coverage aims not only to address immediate mental health concerns but also to support long-term recovery through various therapeutic modalities, including hospitalization when necessary.
