Looking for Surgeon in Austin Texas that accepts Tricare Prime

Hello All-

I am looking for a Bariatric Surgeon in Austin, Texas that accepts Tricare Prime. I do not have a Primary Care Manager yet either if you have suggestions for that as well.

Thanks,

Ana

My surgeon is on the "austin" side of san antonio and I know he takes tricare standard, but don't know about tricare prime! And don't you have to pick a PCM from their list? That's the big reason we don't have tricare prime....so I guess I'm not much help sorry! But welcome!

I have Tricare Prime and I did not even get to pick my PCM. One day I received a letter in the mail telling me who my PCM was. Now, of course, if I don't like him, I have to go through the hassle of asking for a new one. So far so good......he was on board with the Lap Band so I had no problem getting the referral (except for the fact that he referred me to a different surgeon from the one I requested - but that was easy to change). If you become a registered user on the www.humana-military.com website, it should tell you who your PCM is. Hope this helps.

Try Robina Poonawalla 512-440-8989, I personally asked if she referred anyone in the past and they told me yes actually today. So I am seeing her tomorrow for a referral.
