Military Insurance (TRICARE) proposes to cover post-assault exams
TRICARE, the insurance for the uniformed services, has released a proposed rule today that would change coverage for the insurance system. The proposed rule includes covering exams for sexual assault or domestic violence. While the costs of these are often shared by the private co-insurance, some victims of assault were getting billed for the exams. The coverage sheet reads:
However, there is a dual
purpose of the examination process. One purpose is to address the needs of the
individual disclosing sexual assault, which include evaluating and treating injuries;
conducting prompt examinations; providing support, crisis intervention, and
advocacy; providing prophylaxis against sexually transmitted diseases;
assessing female patients for pregnancy risk and discussing treatment options,
including reproductive health services; and providing follow-up care for
medical and emotional needs. The other purpose is to address justice system
needs. The needs for justice system are: obtaining a history of the assault,
documenting exam findings, properly collecting, handling, and preserving
evidence, and interpreting and analyzing findings (post exam) and subsequently,
presenting findings and providing factual and expert opinion related to the
exam and evidence collection.
I like that the proposed rule addresses both a psychological intervention, and a pursuit of justice.
At the link to the proposed rule are instructions for how to weigh in - please feel free.
Victims and survivors of crime, suicide, hurricanes, terrorism, domestic violence, or earthquakes are all victims of crisis, and are at risk for developing post traumatic stress disorder.

There has been a lot of that at FT. Bragg over the past year. They do need to improve victims tricare coverage.

It seems like this would be a reasonable change and should be expected. We pay too much for health care for it to cover nothing.

This is a pretty good list. I have recently come across a few company blog that have comments disabled. I can’t for the life of me understand this. A blog isn’t a blog without comments. come on people. I would never come back or subscribe to a blog that has no comments.

I think a great idea and believe me that is a lot of support because not all victims may always count on economic resources in a situation like this

Patients who were on Avodart or Dutasteride should refrain from donating blood for 6 months since there is a possibility of the blood being transfused to a pregnant female who might be carrying a male fetus.
