S/O Tricare and IF, waiting period?

I will be enrolling when DH commissions and then moving shortly after. I have secondary IF and PCOS requiring Metformin. I've had 2 mc/s, a preemie and a c/p so I will need to see a high risk Dr or a specialist.

Do they require a waiting period before they'd cover the costs?

  • My understanding is that once you are "in" with Tricare, they don't have waiting periods or worries about pre-existing conditions.

  • I didn't have a waiting period, when I saw my PCM, I asked her for a referral to an RE, she asked why, and I was given it. I already had the IF diagnosis, but I never had to show them anything.

  • I didn't have to wait for a certain amount of time. I asked my PCM for a referral and got the approval back from Tricare about a week and a half later. I did have to specify when we PCSed to Ft. Bragg that I wanted to see an RE. The only waiting I really did was waiting for my initial appointment. There's only one RE in the area and his waiting list was so long. Good luck!

  • My PCM asked to see my PCOS records before he would write a referral, eventhough I ended up not needing it due to weight loss.

  • I did not have to wait mine was primary due to PCOS all I did was show them my charts for the 3 cycles I had charted from May-Oct and saw no ovulation or anything so sent me right to GYN. This time I went to GYN right away and then was sent to RE from the GYN.
