Will Tricare Cover Abdominal Muscle Plication?

June 6, 2011
Asked By:NewLeaseX2 in Oklahoma City, OK

After having my daughter, I realized I had diastasis recti. I have not been able to correct it with exercise and it is causing abdominal bulging and back pain though not severe. I was wondering if anyone knew or had an experience when tricare covered abdominal muscle plication. And if so, if that covered procedure could be done in conjunction with an elected procedure (breast augmentation). Thank you!
