Frequently asked questions

How do I confirm an OB/GYN in Columbia County is in network with TRICARE?

Call the office with the exact name of your TRICARE plan and your member ID, and ask whether the specific clinician you want to see participates. Then check the insurer's online provider directory or call the member services number on your card. One insurer can sell employer, marketplace, Medicaid and Medicare Advantage plans in Georgia, each with its own network, and health system lists often exclude some narrow-network products, so the company name alone is not enough.

How do TRICARE Prime and TRICARE Select differ?

TRICARE Prime generally assigns you a primary care manager and requires referrals for most specialty care. TRICARE Select lets you see any TRICARE-authorized provider without a referral, and you pay less with network providers. Practices sometimes accept one option and not the other, so name your TRICARE plan when you call.

Do I need a referral to see an OB/GYN with TRICARE?

Usually not for routine women's health care. Under federal rules, most health plans that ask you to choose a primary care provider cannot require a referral or prior approval to see an in-network OB/GYN. Other specialists, tests or procedures may still need a referral or prior authorization, and some coverage, such as TRICARE Prime, has its own referral rules. Check your plan documents.

What if my OB/GYN does not take TRICARE?

Ask your plan whether you have out-of-network benefits and what you would pay. If your plan has no in-network provider with the right training for your needs, ask your plan whether it will approve an out-of-network referral at in-network cost. You can also ask the practice for its self-pay prices, or use this directory to find a nearby practice in your network.

Am I protected from surprise medical bills in Georgia?

Often, yes. Georgia's Surprise Billing Consumer Protection Act, in effect since January 1, 2021, and the federal No Surprises Act protect patients from many surprise out-of-network bills, such as most emergency care and care from an out-of-network provider at an in-network hospital or surgery center. In those cases you usually owe only your in-network cost-sharing. Which law applies depends on your plan, so ask your insurer about any unexpected bill.

Why is a practice I know not listed for this plan?

This directory lists a practice under TRICARE only when a published source shows it participates. Many practices accept plans we could not verify. If you are a practice, claim your free listing to add your plans.
