Payer/Insurance for Organ Transplants: TRICARE
TRICARE is the federal government’s health insurance program for all seven of the uniformed services. TRICARE is a cost-sharing program that helps pay for health care when military care is not available.
TRICARE may share the cost of heart, lung, heart-lung, heart-kidney, liver, kidney, liver-kidney, kidney-pancreas and living related liver donor transplants. Patients must receive pre-authorization from the TRICARE medical director and meet TRICARE selection criteria.
