No, you cannot consider your Tricare insurance premiums as self-employed health insurance. The policy the policy can be in your name or in your business’ name. Tricare policy is not in the name of your business nor is it an individual policy in your name. The policy is written in the name of the US Government and so doesn't qualify.

The premiums are still allowed as a Schedule A deduction.
