who do I write to? The senator, right? And which state would I write to? LA since that is our home of record and where my DL is issued from or AZ since that is where I live?


TriCare is suddenly deciding now that the provider I'm choosing isn't covered although yesterday it was. If they are going to give me the runaround about having my son evaluated then I think it's time I write to whoever I need to and let them know about the level of care the dependent of a military member receives...

First call or write a letter to the commander of the MTF that you go to. Many times they can deal with this stuff if they know about it. Have you tried the patient representative at the MTF?

The Congressman/woman in the district in which you vote :)

This is the webpage for the Ft. Huachuca's patient advocate.
Ms. Tucker, Patient Advocate, (520) 533-2313

The website states that Col. Thomas W. Smith is the commander of the MTF.
his number is 3-9026 (I am unsure how the phone system works on post. I am sure there are numbers before those stated but I don't know what they are)

Thanks, Dawn. I was able to get it fixed just going through tricare. I called back and asked for a supervisor. Actually I was on hold when I posted but I wanted to go ahead and find out just in case I got nowhere. Anyway. She took the info from me and called me back to tell me that they did the referral and I could call and schedule his appt. (I can't schedule yet but I can call to start working on it all...)

Yeah! I am so glad for you. I know how frustrating it can be.
