Pregnancy Treatment on Eglin AFB

Knottie55891484

Hi Everyone! 
My family and I have recently PCS'd to Eglin, and I just found out I'm about 4 months pregnant. I'm new to how this military process works so I was wondering if anyone could give me some info about the process.  I've had two other children but not on base, I was allowed my own OB with my insurance. 
I called to make an appointment with my PCM this morning, but was told I couldn't get one until I had a positive urine test in the system.  Now the nurse called said it was positive and now I have to "walk into" the OB office!? I'm baffled at this whole process and hope some of you have been through this and can give me some information.

If you're interested in choosing your own doctor and off base hospital to deliver at, consider going Tricare Standard. Pretty much all of my prenatal procedures were covered 100% and I think we ended up paying $36 for the two days in the hospital for labor&delivery. A year after switching to standard you're eligible to switch back to prime if you want.

Yes. I moved around 18 weeks and I already knew I was having a boy, but I still had to come in and pee in a cup before they could assign me an OB. It's dumb but it's apparently protocol to have it in their records you're pregnant. It took about a week to get in the system once I got a positive test from them, which happened immediately while I was in the office.
