Referral Request Reminders for TRICARE Providers

When submitting requests for subsequent care, ensure the originally approved diagnosis is listed as the primary diagnosis, the requesting provider matches the authorized referral, and an approved PCM referral is in place using the same diagnosis and specialty. Following these steps helps your request process without delay.
