Lung Cancer Screening
TRICARE covers an annual low-dose computed tomography screening if you meet the following criteria:
- 50-80 years old
- 20 pack per year history of smoking, currently smoking or have quit within the past 15 years.
You must see a TRICARE network provider for TRICARE to pay for this screening.
Screening should end when you:
- Haven’t smoked for 15 years
- Develop a health problem significantly limiting life expectancy or ability to undergo curative lung surgery.
