Seeking an off-post referral. Round 2.

FraggleChicFraggleChic member
in Infertility

I switched my PCM today to a civilian provider that has nothing to do with the military healthcare system on post, other than the fact that she accepts my insurance.

It is my understanding that because she is not affiliated with the healthcare system on post, my referral will be sent directly to Tricare instead of needing to be approved by the IF clinic on post first. *Fingers crossed* 

I gave you life, then you gave me mine.

TTC February 2008 to October 2008 One year forced break due to OIF deployment #2
Resumed TTC in October 2009 HSG, Hysteroscopy, S/A all clear
Five total medicated cycles and IUI #1-3 = BFN and all while we were still "unexplained IF"
25 August Lap revealed Endo, adhesions and blocked left tube
September 2011: Femara + IUI #4 (IUI #1 post endo removal) =BFFN
November: IVF #1: Stims started 11/16 ER 11/25 (7R, 5F) ET 11/30 Transferred 2 beautiful expanding blastocysts +HPT 12/6/11
Beta #1 at 9dp5dt=153! Beta #2 at 16dp5dt= 4009!
Ultrasound 12/30 showed one beautiful heartbeat! EDD 17 August, 2012

Hazel Evelyn arrived 10 August, 2012!

Surprise natural BFP March 2015. M/C at 5 weeks
Another surprise natural BFP April 2015

    Are you Tricare standard or prime?  I work for a med equipment co and I deal with Tricare referrals day in and day out....I know how frustrated you must be!!  If you are prime, and your PCM is off base, then as long as your PCM sends a referral to Tricare for your RE to evaluate and treat, you are good to go.

    Me: 30, Dx Unexplained/hypothalamic amenorrhea
    DH: 31, normal!
    April/May 2011: Menopur + Ovidrel +TI = BFN
    Oct 2011: Menopur + Hcg +IUI = BFP!
    Beta #1 (13dpiui)= 129.7, Beta #2 (15 dpiui)= 305

    I just changed my PCM so you know the drill, I have to wait for Tricare to approve the change before I can make an appointment. :/

    Oh, I'm tracking now.  My brain wasn't moving as fast as my eyes.  Hopefully it's quick and the civilian PCM doesn't have a long wait!

     I have my lap on the 25th so I'm sticking with the RE on post until after that is done.   I'm so worried that my new PCM will fax the referral to the MTF instead of Tricare directly and it will just get denied again.  This is such a PITA.
