Short answer: TRICARE says hormone therapy is covered through the TRICARE pharmacy benefit, with limits. Its FAQ answers "Yes, but there are some limitations."
The limits
Prescribed drugs must be FDA approved and prescribed in accordance with labeled indications. TRICARE points to its Formulary Search Tool for specific drugs. TRICARE's page does not discuss compounded drugs or list specific menopause office visits, so we cannot tell you from it whether a given compounded product or visit is covered. Call TRICARE or check the formulary for the exact drug and dose.
If you are moving
TRICARE's moving page says not to disenroll from your plan before you move, to update your address in DEERS afterward, and that you have 90 days from the address change to change your plan.
Is hormone therapy the only option?
No. The FDA says treatments include hormone therapy and non-hormonal therapy, and that menopause hormone therapy is not for everyone. That is a conversation for your own clinician.
