TriWest Urges Providers to Follow Referral Waiver Guidelines
A PCM referral approval waiver is in place effective Jan. 1 – April 30, 2025. Outpatient TRICARE-covered procedures, services, and equipment ordered during the waiver period do not require separate approval from TriWest. Follow the TRICARE Referral Waiver Approval for guidance. Read a letter from TriWest’s President and CEO on the importance of caring for our nation’s military families.
