Traumatic Brain Injury. TBI is defined as traumatically induced structural injury and/or physiological disruption of brain function as a result if an external force that is indicated by any period of loss of or decreased Level Of Consciousness (LOC), loss of memory for events immediately before or after the injury (Post-Traumatic Amnesia [PTA]), alteration in mental state at the time of the injury (confusion, disorientation, slowed thinking, etc.) (Alteration Of Consciousness/mental state [AOC]), neurological deficits (weakness, loss of balance, change in vision, praxis, paresis/plegia, sensory loss, aphasia, etc.) that may or may not be transient or intracranial lesion. This MOA includes individuals sustaining a TBI and damage to the central nervous system resulting from anoxic/hypoxic episodes, related to trauma or exposure to chemical or environmental toxins that result in brain damage. This MOA does not include brain injuries/insult related to acute/chronic illnesses (i.e., cerebrovascular accident, aneurysm, hypertension, tumors, diabetes, etc.). Patients with other acquired brain injuries due to acute/chronic disease or infectious processes are not covered under this MOA but are eligible for care in these centers under TRICARE network agreements.
