IMPORTANT UPDATE: Temporary Referral Waiver
DHA has implemented a temporary waiver of outpatient referral approval requirements for eligible TRICARE West Region beneficiaries enrolled in a TRICARE Prime plan, from January 1, 2025, to March 31, 2025, with services valid through June 30, 2025. This means that referrals from military or civilian PCMs do not require separate approval from TriWest during the waiver period.
- Exceptions to the waiver include inpatient care, Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA)/Autism Care Demonstration (ACD) services, Laboratory Developed Test (LDT), Extended Care Health Option (ECHO) services, and other services that require pre-authorization.
- Beneficiaries should take a copy of their PCM referral and the waiver approval letter to their specialty care visit. The form is available to the right of your screen.
