I have Tricare Prime and Im in the west region. I just called them to find out what providers are qualified and they had nothing. I was transfered to another person they couldn't find a a Dr. either. Im in Ft. Leavenworth, KS anyone had this problem?

I just wanted to do research on the Dr.'s in this area that Tricare covers so when I see my PCM I will have a say in who I go to. Suggestions?

Try looking it up on tircares website, or call the docs offices in your area. You may have to travel a bit to find one though.

I started backwards. I actually searched the name of the Dr. I wanted thru the Triwest services website.

But if you are Triwest like me, you can copy and paste this link on your browser and search for providers in your area

I'd recommend you register and activate an account if you are a beneficiary, as you can view your referral's etc.. faster than just be waiting on the mail to bring you the letters...

Hope this helps! Good Luck!

Thanks for the info I was able to look up my surgeon under his name an he is a provider! Jackpot!!!! I will definitly sign up so I can track my refferals. Thanks for the help hope they approve me.

Hi NavyWif99...I am stationed in Fort Leavenworth as well and just had my consultation. Who is your surgeon and how and long has this process been for you? Just curious as to what I have to look forward to. LOL

Are you willing to travel into KC? Ft. Leavenworth is really not that far at all when you come down K7. I'm in western Shawnee by K7 and Johnson Drive and go in to see Dr. Fearing at Malley Surgical in Mission. Shawnee Mission Med Center has the Bariatric Center (http://www.kcbariatric.com/compare.php), which is off 95th and K7.

Yes...That is where I am going. I am seeing Dr. Malley though. I had just had my consult and was curious as to the steps that I would need to take because I was impatiently waiting on hearing from Malley Surgical center what I still needed to do....it had only been a few hours...LOL. I had found out that I have to get a psych eval and a document from my Dr. stating I have HBP. I have it, on medicine for it but they still want me to have the document. Going to my PCM tomorrow in hopes to get a referral for the psych eval. As soon as I am done with that I should get approved and have it done.
