TRICARE COVERAGE OF COVID-19 TESTING
TRICARE covers the cost of at-home test kits that are FDA approved and ordered by a TRICARE authorized provider for a medically necessary purpose, such as exhibition of symptoms. The Defense Heath Agency is reviewing the latest guidance on at-home testing kits in order to identify whether any changes to the current policy are warranted. As a reminder, the DHA reminds all beneficiaries to follow currently approved TRICARE requirements for COVID-19 testing.
Those guidelines can be reviewed on TRICARE’s website at:

As an alternative, you may be able to receive free at-home COVID test kits be registering at
