Question:
Need to find a Dr. that takes Tricare

I just found out today that the Dr. I had planned on using will not take my insurance. I am so devestated. Please...If anyone knows a Dr. that takes Tricare please let me know his name. I am at the end of my rope. Thanks    — Diane B. (posted on August 22, 2000)

Diane, Call your local Tricare Service Office and talk to a representative, they can give you names of doctors who will accept Tricare. I know, I talked with my rep today, after waiting 2mos for my first surgeon to request approval for the surgery. I'm back at square one, but still determine to go through with the surgery. Good Luck.

First of all, I have TriCare too, and basically after submitting your referral from your PCM, you will recieve it back in the mail with the doctors name and phone number along with a confirmation number. TriCare is very picky, so whatever Doctor they choose will be a terrific one. You didn't state where you are from????Well, in California- there are quite a few in Fresno, San deigo, etc.... But if you want a list of doctors then go inside your local TriCare office and request to see one. :) Good-Luck!!!!!
