moving in a few weeks. How does maternity care go since it is not on post?

    Not familiar with Fort Leavenworth specifically, but if you already know that maternity care is not available on post they will put in a referral once you get there for a Dr out in town who accepts tricare prime.  From there your coverage is 100% for anything "medically necessary" the same as it would be on post.  You might get more u/s out in town, than on post, and they just code them as medically necessary and then they are covered.  Your delivery is also covered 100% and any additional time your baby may need to spend in a NICU or something {hope you don't need this} is also covered 100% for anything "medically necessary."

    We only have a naval health clinic on base here at Cherry Point {North Carolina} so I am seen out in town from the moment pregnancy is confirmed.  I have a particular dr I see, but he accepts tricare prime and there are no issues.  I also end up with a referral to the high risk dr's/hospital an hour away due to our issues, and everything with them is also fully covered.
