North Florida Babies

Nas Jax/Mayport

I am currently pregnant with my second, 5 weeks 3 days. I am high risk, with a strong family history of blood clotting disorder, and I developed polyhydramnios (extra amniotic fluid) and gd very late in my previous pregnancy(34 weeks). Just with my family history alone I was referred out to a civilian doctor with out being check when we were stationed in North Carolina. 

I was saw by my PCM at Mayport and he automatically told me I he was going to send me out into town. I was then called by the Tricare office the next morning and was told that I was denied because they had room in the OB department for me.The lady was extremely rude to me when I explained that I had to be seen by a Maternal Fetal doctor that specialized in APS. Later on that day the OB nurse called me and was just as rude when I tried to tell her that my PCM had my previous pregnancy medical records and that he said I needed to be seen by a specialist. She told me "well you don't have those conditions now, so you will be seen here until you develop them and then you will be referred".... completely dumbfounded that some one had the audacity to tell me this, I proceeded to tell her "your right we DONT know if I have the clotting disorder with this pregnancy because you won't let me get my blood drawn until after this class". I have never been so disrespected by any one in the medical field. I have never been a fan of the Mayport clinic, as they just heard patients around and do not care about them. I have sent this nurse my medical records from my son (with all the 100 ultrasounds I received). 

Now my question is...Does anyone know if Nas Jax has a high risk department, as I can not find anything online about it, just the lawsuits against them. Also if anyone knows what this class is about, and if I can go around this nurse/ob and get a referral to a civilian doctor. My husband and I have discussed going standard, but we don't want to pay out of pocket with each visit, because I had ultrasounds done 2 times a month until i developed polyhydramnios, then 3 times a week, and this can get pretty expensive. I appreciate any advice in advance, and I am very furious at this situation, where I am loosing sleep over it.
