What happens if you are preggo when the enlistment is up? Does it matter if you are a few weeks vice if you are 7-8 months along? I thought I heard something about covering the pregnancy if you are 6 months+, but that could have been my imagination too... anyone know how Tricare works?

I don't know, but just wanted to say I think you kitty is soo cute. I'm gonna try google it

unless you get the "cobra" type insurance ( which is costly) when you seperate there is no insurance coverage - pregnancy is only covered for the AD member not the spouse when they leave.

Thanks! I am seriously in love with him!!! (L)(L)

I did find that the servicemember can extend to cover the pregnancy, and does not even need permission to do so, so that's good!

Maybe that's what I had heard. Thanks!

OK I found this
Once your husband gets out he will have 180 days of medical coverage, its called TA-180...you will be able to have OB coverage during that time as you will be entitled to the same 180 days of medical. Hope this helps!
As far as civilian coverage....OB care is not considered a pre-existing condition, so you are ok there. Now, Tricare will send you a certificate of previous medical coverage and once you apply for civilian insurance, the new insurance company will need it to continue coverage of if you did have a pre-existing condition like diabetes, cancer, etc.

Yep that's what happened with my sis, when her DH got out she had her baby 2 months later and they covered everything as long as she went to the closest military hospital to deliver.
