Question about Prime

Have you ever switched OBs mid-pregnancy? I'm not really happy with mine, but someone told me that you're not allowed to switch once you've started seeing one.

    I bet if you raised enough hell so to speak, it wouldn't be a  problem. I wouldn't see why it would be an issue as long as the insurance approved the new Doc. Def. worth asking about.

    I believe you can. You just need to inform the Tricare office.

    When I first chose my OB through the tricare office they told me if I felt the need to make a change just to let them know.  No one expects you to deliver with a doctor/practice that you are uncomfortable with.

    ...though I've never been pregnant to see an OBGYN, I have always been able to choose and switch my family practice doctor. All I have had to do was use their online tool to find a doctor that accpted Tricare, fill out the form and fax it into them so that they updated my file.

    You can change your PCM or your OB at anytime while having TriCare (any type). It is your right as a patient to determine who you want to see. (As long as they accept Tricare) All you need to do is call tricare or go to their office on base and request a change. I wouldn't suggest switching BEFORE talking to tricare. If you do you might end up paying out of pocket for whatever visits you have since they technically haven't approved them.
