TRICARE Adds MRI Screenings
Week of October 29, 2007

The Tricare Management Activity recently changed its policy by adding coverage for Magnetic Resonance Imaging screening for women at high risk of developing breast cancer. If any qualified beneficiaries received this care on or after March 1, 2007 and it was denied, they can resubmit their claim for reimbursement. For more information about breast cancer, visit the National Cancer Institute's Breast Cancer home page. Breast cancer is the third most common cancer among Tricare beneficiaries and the second most common cause of cancer death for women in the United States.

Thanks for the info. I assume Tricare For Life is using the same rule.
