Help with Tricare in North Carolina

Hi,
 I am Donna, I live here in Cameron NC, I am in need of anyone in my area that has Tricare that can assist me with lots of questions I have,
Please Help
Thanks

I'm not in NC, I have tri-care south.  If you have a general question I'll try to help.

Hi,
 Thanks for getting back to me.  Since my last post, I have went from Duke Medical Center Tricare has informed me that nthey are not in network, so my PCP referred me to the other best in the area, when Tricare did my referral, the Army Hospital  said they had room for me, so I will have to go there, which is ok for me since I had my son there and they are terrific. hopefully they will be for WLS as well.

My questions have changed a little.....

Do I still have to do the 6 Month thing now that I am having to go to the base?
I am 5"3 and weigh 245. I do have several medical issues that are required. Just wondering if the base is harder on getting to the surgery that a regular civi dr.? if you know that is great, if not that is kool to. I appreicate any help or advice anyone can give me.

Oh by the way, how do you get the ticker thingee????
Thanks,
Donna

Ditto to moondanceer, I'm not in NC, but I'm in Tricare South. I have Prime, and pretty well-versed on Standard as well. I've dealt with a lot of Tricare issues, and am a licensed insurance agent. I've been able to figure out a lot of the tough stuff when it comes to Tricare. Feel free to message me if you'd like.

Hi,
 Thanks for getting back to me. I replyed to moondancer with the a lot of questions regarding having WLS on base. If you know anything about how Tricare handels having the surgery on base it would be greatly appricated.
Thanks again,
Donna
