Does our practice take TRICARE?
We accept TRICARE for psychiatric evaluation, medication management, and therapy, for service members, their families, and retirees. Call and our billing team will confirm your plan before your first appointment.
Adult & Child Counseling & Psychiatric Center accepts TRICARE at our Melbourne office, for psychiatric evaluation, medication management, and therapy. We see service members, spouses, dependents, and retirees, and we treat children and adolescents as well as adults.
Mental health care near Patrick Space Force Base
Patrick Space Force Base sits about twenty minutes from our office, and the surrounding communities carry a large military and veteran population. Brevard County's veteran share is roughly 11%, close to double the national figure.
On-base behavioural health runs during weekday duty hours, which does not fit every family and does not cover every need. Dependents in particular often need a network provider off base, and so do people who want continuity with one clinician rather than whoever is available at the next appointment.
Continuity through a move or a deployment
Military families move, and care that depends on being physically present in one building is fragile. We have practiced from one address since 1992, and where care needs to transfer, we will provide records promptly so the next provider is not starting from nothing.
For families managing a deployment, the strain is rarely limited to the person deploying. Spouses and children are frequently the ones who need support, and we see them here.
What TRICARE covers here
Psychiatric evaluation, ongoing medication management, and individual, family, couples, and group therapy are all provided at this practice.
TRICARE plan types differ in whether a referral or authorisation is required before a behavioural health appointment, and the rules differ again for active duty. Call our office and our billing team will verify what your plan needs before your first appointment.
Common questions
- Do I need a referral to use TRICARE here?
- It depends on your plan type, and the requirements for active duty differ from those for family members and retirees. Call our office before booking and our billing team will confirm what your plan requires.
- Do you see family members and dependents?
- Yes. Spouses, children, and adolescents are seen here, and for many families the dependent is the person who needs an off-base provider.
- Can you provide records if we receive orders?
- Yes. Records are provided promptly on request so care can continue with a new provider rather than restarting from the beginning.
