San Antonio is home to one of the largest active-duty and veteran communities in the country, anchored by Joint Base San Antonio (JBSA). If you're covered by TRICARE and looking for a psychiatrist, here's what's actually covered, how your specific plan affects access, and how to get your benefits verified before you ever walk in the door.
Does Health 210 Psychiatry Accept TRICARE?
Yes. We accept TRICARE at all four of our San Antonio and Boerne locations for veterans, active-duty service members, and military families, covering psychiatric evaluations, medication management, and Deep TMS therapy. Coverage for ketamine and Spravato treatment varies by plan and clinical criteria, so we verify those benefits individually before scheduling.
TRICARE Prime vs. TRICARE Select: Does It Change Your Access?
It can. TRICARE Prime is a managed-care option that generally requires a referral or authorization from your primary care manager before you can see a specialty psychiatric provider outside that network. TRICARE Select is a self-managed, PPO-style option that typically allows more direct access to network providers without a referral. Which plan you're on determines whether you can book directly with us or need a referral first, and our front desk can help you figure out which applies to you.
Which Services Are TRICARE-Covered Here?
Psychiatric medication management and Deep TMS therapy are both covered under TRICARE for eligible patients, including Deep TMS for PTSD, depression, and OCD when clinical criteria are met. Ketamine and Spravato coverage is handled case by case, since these are newer and more specialized treatments; ask us to verify your specific benefits before starting either.
Serving JBSA: Lackland, Fort Sam Houston, and Randolph
Our four Boerne and San Antonio locations (I-10 W, Meisner Dr., Rogers Rd., and Babcock Rd.) are convenient for military families connected to any JBSA installation, whether you're stationed at Lackland, Fort Sam Houston, or Randolph. We understand military culture and approach every veteran and service member with the respect and clinical precision their service deserves.
How to Verify Your TRICARE Benefits Before Your First Visit
We offer free benefits verification before your first appointment, so you know exactly what's covered and what, if anything, you'll owe out of pocket. Reach out with your TRICARE plan type (Prime or Select) and we'll confirm your specific coverage for the service you're seeking, whether that's a psychiatric evaluation, ongoing medication management, or Deep TMS.
