Check with your regional contractor before you receive services. They may require pre-authorization.

TRICARE excludes assisted reproductive technology services. But ART services may be available through the extended benefits authorized under the Supplemental Health Care Program. This is for service members who incurred a serious or severe injury or illness on active duty. Your illness or injury must lead to your inability to procreate without the use of ART services.
