I am getting married in a month, and trying to figure out if my daughter can get Tri-Care even though she isn't his, she still lives in his house hold!

yes as long as she is under 18 yrs of age or a full time student (12+credit hours).

Tricare will cover all dependent children, whether child or step-child. Once you get married, you will have to register for DEERS (Defense Eligibility Enrollment System) and Tricare. It's a pain, but it will get your child covered fairly quickly.
My son (from a previous relationship) is covered under my husband. They have even covered "pre-existing conditions" which many civilian insurance companies will not cover during the first year or longer.

I am thinking she will be able to, is he adopting her? even if she isnt, just because she is living in the household she should be covered. Have him go talk to or call tricare. There should be a tricare office on base.

Yes they will, as long as you two are married he will be able to support her also. Whats yours will become both of yours, including kids (thats the army's viewpoint) But contrary to what alot of people are posting, not just anyone living in your household can get the benifits. Usually its just your kids that get benifits.

yeap. as long as you have primary custody, she will be covered, no adoption required. If she is under age ten, she will not get an ID, although if she spends any time withher biologocal father and he is out of town, you might want to get her one anyway, as she will need that in case of emergency care.

Yea, if she becomes his dependent then the army will take care of her.
