TRICARE and virtual IOP
What your covered program may include
Intensive Outpatient Programming (IOP) bridges the gap between weekly therapy and inpatient care. It offers the structure and community of a clinical program with the flexibility to keep living your life while you heal. TRICARE covers intensive outpatient care for eligible adult beneficiaries, and covers virtual attendance. Which contractor handles your claim depends on where you live.
Curated Groups
Healing happens in connection. Our groups bring together people walking similar paths, guided by licensed clinicians who help create space for openness, reflection, safety and forward movement.
Individual Therapy
Your story matters. One-on-one sessions give you time to pause, reflect, and work through what’s getting in the way of balance, from managing anxiety and depression to building long-term resilience.
Family Therapy
Healing extends beyond the individual. Our family therapy invites loved ones into the process, rebuilding trust, communication, and understanding while setting boundaries that support lasting change.
Skill-Building Sessions
We teach everyday tools for real-world calm, from emotional regulation and mindfulness to relapse prevention and stress management. It’s not just what you learn here; it’s what you take with you.
Aftercare & Ongoing Support
Before graduation, every client leaves with a personalized plan for continued growth, whether that’s therapy, community groups, or ongoing coaching. Because progress doesn’t end when the program does.

Questions, answered clearly
What members ask most about starting virtual IOP with Thrive: coverage, cost, and how quickly care can begin.
Does TRICARE cover virtual IOP?
Yes. TRICARE covers intensive outpatient programs for eligible adult beneficiaries, and covers attending by secure video. Costs depend on your plan and your sponsor status, so we verify your benefits for free before you start and tell you what to expect.
Am I covered under TRICARE East or TRICARE West?
Both, depending on your state. Thrive is in network with TRICARE East in Florida, Indiana and South Carolina, and with TRICARE West in Arizona and California. You do not need to work out which one applies. Tell us where you live and we will handle it.
Do I need a referral or prior authorization?
It depends on your plan. Some TRICARE plans require a referral or prior authorization for intensive outpatient care, and our admissions team manages that request for you as part of admission. After a brief assessment, care can start within 24 hours.
Is care confidential from my command?
Your care is protected health information and is handled under the same privacy rules as any other medical treatment. If you have specific concerns about reporting requirements in your role, raise them at your assessment and our team will talk them through with you honestly.
Covered by a different insurer?
Thrive is also in network with Cigna, Aetna, UnitedHealthcare, Oscar Health, Curative and Johns Hopkins Health Plans and the Blue plan in several of our states. Tell us who you are covered by and we will check your benefits for free.
