Would Tricare pay for this procedure due to the hernia being removed or the resulting bacterial infection?

Asked By:savilda20 in Tampa, FL

I developed skin necrosis on my belly button along with a light pseudomonas aeruginosa bacterial infection after a tummy tuck. I also had a hernia which was fixed during surgery. Is it likely that Tricare would pay for this procedure due to the hernia being removed or the resulting bacterial infection?
