Tricare: Maternity

Tricare covers maternity care, including prenatal care, delivery costs, inpatient care of the newborn and mother, and care of the baby immediately after birth. Inpatient and outpatient delivery is covered.

Home births are considered outpatient deliveries. For women who deliver in civilian hospitals, Tricare will share all expenses at the inpatient rate, even if delivery unexpectedly takes place at home or en route to the hospital.
