Welcome to Massachusetts Mental Health Treatment Centers: Your Partner in Healing

Mental health is an essential part of our overall well-being, and seeking treatment when necessary is a crucial step towards achieving a balanced and fulfilling life. Unfortunately, the costs associated with mental health treatment can be a significant concern for many individuals and families. That’s where Tricare insurance plans can play an invaluable role, offering various coverages to help mitigate these expenses. Here at Massachusetts Mental Health Treatment Centers, we work with most Tricare plans that cover out-of-network benefits, ensuring you or your loved ones can access the essential care needed without the added financial stress.

What Is Tricare Insurance?

TRICARE is the health care program of the United States Department of Defense Military Health System, providing civilian health benefits for U.S. Armed Forces military personnel, military retirees, and their dependents, including some members of the Reserve Component.

TRICARE offers several different health plans, with availability depending on who you are and where you live. These plans include TRICARE Prime, TRICARE Prime Remote, TRICARE Prime Overseas, TRICARE Prime Remote Overseas, TRICARE Select, TRICARE Select Overseas, TRICARE For Life, TRICARE Reserve Select, TRICARE Retired Reserve, and TRICARE Young Adult.

TRICARE Prime is a managed care option available in Prime Service Areas, requiring enrollment and, for some beneficiaries, annual enrollment fees. Active duty service members must enroll in a TRICARE Prime option. TRICARE For Life serves as Medicare-wraparound coverage for TRICARE-eligible individuals who have both Medicare Part A and Part B, regardless of age or place of residence.

The program is divided into regions, with contractors managing health care services in each area. As of January 1, 2025, TriWest Healthcare Alliance administers the TRICARE West Region, encompassing states such as California, Colorado, and Texas.

TRICARE provides a comprehensive health care benefit, including medical, dental, and pharmacy services, to ensure the health and readiness of uniformed service members and their families.

Utilizing Tricare Insurance for Mental Health Treatment

Tricare, a healthcare program serving uniformed service members, retirees, and their families worldwide, offers comprehensive coverage for a range of health services, prominently including mental health care. Learning how to utilize your Tricare insurance effectively can make a significant difference in managing the costs associated with mental health treatment.

Firstly, understanding your specific Tricare plan is crucial. Tricare offers several plan types, each with varying levels of coverage and requirements that may affect your access to mental health services. The main types of plans include:

Types of Tricare Plans

Tricare Prime

This is the managed care option, similar to an HMO (Health Maintenance Organization). It requires enrollees to select a Primary Care Manager (PCM) who coordinates their care, and referrals are necessary for specialist services, including mental health care.

Tricare Select

An option comparable to a PPO (Preferred Provider Organization), Tricare Select offers more flexibility, allowing beneficiaries to see any Tricare-authorized provider without a referral. This plan typically comes with higher out-of-pocket costs compared to Tricare Prime but provides greater freedom of choice.

Tricare For Life

This is a comprehensive health plan that works as a secondary payer to Medicare, offering additional coverage to active-duty family members, retirees, and their dependents.

Tricare Reserve Select

A premium-based plan available worldwide for qualified Selected Reserve members and their families.

Tricare Retired Reserve

Available to qualified retired Reserve members and their families, this plan also follows the premium-based format.

Tricare Young Adult

This option allows young adults to maintain existing Tricare coverage after turning 21, or up to age 26 if enrolled in school.

Typical Tricare Coverage for Mental Health Treatment

Tricare provides extensive mental health benefits covering a wide array of services. Whether you are experiencing anxiety, depression, PTSD, or any other mental health issue, it is crucial to know what types of services your Tricare plan might cover:

Outpatient Services

Including individual therapy, group therapy, family counseling, psychological testing, and more.

Inpatient Services

Covering hospitalization for severe mental health conditions requiring intensive treatment.

Partial Hospitalization Programs (PHPs)

These are daytime treatment programs that don’t require overnight stays, yet provide comprehensive, intensive outpatient care.

Residential Treatment

This is for situations needing continuous supervision, often involving therapeutic support in a live-in facility.

Substance Use Disorder Treatment

Tricare covers various treatment options for substance use disorders, including medical detoxification and rehabilitation services.

Utilizing your Tricare insurance can significantly alleviate the financial burden, and at Massachusetts Mental Health Treatment Centers, we are committed to helping you navigate these benefits to access the treatment you need.
