Tricare and RE Question

How do I get a referral for a RE? I've been on base, and they referred me to a gyno, but people keep recommending I see a RE as well. I have my next gyno appointment next friday, after that we're headed to another base.

    I'm not sure if it's different between Prime or Standard. I called today and they told me that my gynecologist would be the one to put the referral in.

    Thanks! I do have prime. Once we get to the new base will I have to start all over with the new gyno?

    the referrals will follow you, you may have to go in and see Tricare and change the doctor on your referral but that is a simple process, they just change the name and print you a new one.
