Human Papilloma Virus Vaccine

TRICARE covers the HPV vaccine for males and females as recommended by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.

Getting the Vaccine From TRICARE-Authorized Providers

You can get covered vaccines from any TRICARE-Authorized ProviderAn authorized provider is any individual, institution/organization, or supplier that is licensed by a state, accredited by national organization, or meets other standards of the medical community, and is certified to provide benefits under TRICARE. There are two types of TRICARE-authorized providers: Network and Non-Network. DS.

• If you’re enrolled in a TRICARE Prime option and you want to get the vaccine from a non-network provider, you must have a referral and authorization to avoid paying point-of-service fees.
• If you get the vaccine from your provider, you may have to pay copayments or cost-shares for the office visit or other services received during the office visit.

Getting the Vaccine at a Network Pharmacy

You can get the HPV vaccine at participating network pharmacies at no cost. Not every pharmacy is able to administer the HPV vaccine. Call the pharmacy first to make sure it:

• Participates in the vaccine program
• Has the vaccine in stock and can administer it
