Are there any girlfriends that belong to any of our beloved service members out there that have any information about the involvement of tricare and DEERS? I have heard many different things about their involvement in a non dependant/service members pregnancy... I am.prior service myself but do not receive any benefits so we need to know soon if we Just need to get with Medicaid.

    Im a military wife so im not entirely sure, but I don't think you would be covered under Tricare. My advice would be just go with Medicaid. It can be a real pain trying to get anything worked out quickly and correctly with the military, so if you need to figure out something fast I would recommend going the non military direction. Hope this helps! :)

    @soontobemommy it does help we were just hoping to be able to have the military be involved mainly because there is the worry that they wont let him be as involved in the pregnancy because we are Not married but we will get through it thank You for your help its nice to hear from.other military mommy's!

    My bf OS air force because we r not married I am not covered at all by tricare the baby is after they do dna test it really sucks I feel like they should cover the.delivery of his baby
  • jstnshrtjstnshrt
    Is sorry
  • liljellybeanliljellybean
    @jstnshrt it does suck how far along are you and do they cover the cost of the DNA test?
  • jstnshrtjstnshrt
    I'm 8wks four days and you have to pay for dna test out of pocket to get it done on base here its five hundred and its.just a mouth swab not blood its more for them to do blood test I'm going to try and find a cheaper place off base if u aren't married they make it difficult for instance if he gets deployed and is gone around my due date they will not send him back in time for birth he will miss it they try with married couples more
  • jstnshrtjstnshrt

    Then again I may just have them draw blood from baby while I'm pregnant and do.test.because what if baby needs to go into incubator or whatever makes me nervous cuz my insurance expires two months before I'm do
  • liljellybeanliljellybean
    @jstnshrt no bueno we are better off biting the bullet and getting married... we already have kids on the way with these boys so why not... where are You stationed and what does he do?
  • KindellKindell
    They will only cover the baby once its born and not you at all unless ur married :(

    Well he is trying to commission and fly we are little rock air.force base we have decided to wait till he commissions well I would rather get married but he isn't ready yet and I don't want to grove him and have him resent me this baby was.unplanned.although we are thrilled I would recommend getting married as.long as you.u both agree and u won't resent each other in the.long run it will be better for yall financialy and you will have insurance plus if he gets stationed somewhere else you and baby can go if my bf gets stationed somewhere ill have to decide wat to do
