Court-ordered care is defined by TRICARE as medical services, including inpatient admissions, that a party in a legal proceeding is ordered or directed to obtain by a court of law. The fact that behavioral health care services are ordered by a court for a TRICARE-eligible beneficiary does not determine the benefits available under TRICARE. TRICARE benefits are paid only if the services are medically or psychologically necessary to diagnose and/or treat a covered condition. The services must be at the appropriate level of care to treat the condition, and the beneficiary (or family) must have a legal obligation to pay for the services.
