Will my pregnancy be covered under Tricare Young Adult?
I am a dependent of my dad, a retired service member, and was never and is not in full-time college, and i am 22 years old. I have gone awhile without health insurance because i couldnt afford it when i was dropped. I was dropped before the healthcare reform went into effect and i did not know i was eligible again until a few months ago. i havent been able to afford it but my mom has recently been able to afford it. However, I recently found out I was 6 weeks pregnant. I AM unmarried and i otherwise completely qualify for Tricare Young Adult, but since i have not yet enrolled and my pregnancy is "pre-existing", will my pregnancy be covered under Tricare Young Adult? And if so, I realize the child would not be covered at some point, but at least until the baby is a few months old, would i and the baby be covered? I would appreciate someone who has recently gone through this or someone who works for or used to work for Tricare answer this question. Not an "I dont think so." or "I think so". That would be greatly appreciated, thanks.

The only way you are going to get the accurate answer is to call Tricare.
From the information that is provided, you should be covered. However, the full plan documents are not available on the internet. There is a chance that if you are already pregnant you can't be covered.
You can be on this insurance. Your child cannot be covered by Tricare unless your parents are have legal custody over the child. In most states, you can't get child only insurance. This means, at birth, your options are: the child does not have insurance coverage, the baby daddy provides insurance for the child, you figure out a way to get insurance for you and your child.

No, girlfriends don't exist in the eyes of the military. To qualify for a military id card, Tricare, etc.. They must be legally married. The being pregnant is out of pocket. The little one can qualify for it as soon as it's born and after a DNA experiment is done to show it's his.
