A cognitive assessment is an examination conducted to determine someone's level of cognitive function. There are a number of reasons to perform such an exam, and this test can be administered by a mental health professional, neurologist, or education professional, depending on how it is to be used.
The passage of the Health Care Reform Act, which requires insurers to provide coverage for dependent children up to age 26, has left many TRICARE beneficiaries asking what that would mean to their older dependent children since the current age limit for TRICARE is 21, or age 23 if the child is a full-time student.
You owe it to yourself and your family to find out as much as you can about TRICARE before making any decisions! There are several TRICARE programs available depending on your status and location: 1  TRICARE for Active Duty Members and their Dependents. 2  TRICARE for Reservists & Guard Members and their Dependents. 3  TRICARE Overseas Programs. 4  TRICARE for Retirees. 5  TRICARE for Children Ages 18 - 26.
