I know I should know the answer to this question already but Do I need to get a referral from my PCM to go to get my yearly pap by my Dr who is a civi Dr. or can I just make an appt and Tricare will cover it. I dont want to get it done by my PCM. But i was thinking in case something was wrong like there was last year I should probably get a referral just in case.

great ?

You need a referral from your orginial PCM to be seen off base by a civlian. Everytime. If you dont they will charge you under the point of service option

ok thats what i thought. thanks Kristi. I thought someone else had told me awhile back that I didnt need a referral to have my annual pap done. but to me its always good to get one just to be on the safe side.
