Will Tricare Prime cover my breast reduction a couple months before my 21st birthday, when I get taken off my parents insurance?

Asked By:kerileigh in Lexington Park, MD

I'm 20y/o and my birthday is late August. I've been wanting a BR almost all my life. I was a full B cup by 3rd grade and they've been getting bigger ever since. I'm almost having to buy bigger bras every few months. I'm a 36DDD/E(?) (probably bigger, I just can't find a big enough bra) and I'm hoping to be a C cup or around that size. It's so short notice but I hope I can get approved and in surgery by my 21st birthday when my insurance stops. Will they cover?
