I notice on Tricare West website, they are no longer accepting new contracts. Have you heard anything on when they may open enrollment? Or is the only thing we can do is contract as an out of network provider for now?
@@Smiseter6937 you would need to move forward with out of network enrollment, however, it sounds like they pay the same rate. You would just need to make sure that you follow their out of network protocols when it comes to requirements for authorizations and referrals. They have been closed for quite a while, and I don’t think they give an ETA of when they may open it up again thank you for watching!
@@jevettamd thank you for watching. In my experience, Tricare West and East always reimburse using the Medicare fee schedule and fees will fluctuate based on the state the doctor resides just like Medicare rates do. However, I have not been able to find anything stating if or how the fees will change with this new contract. I encourage practices to contact the payer directly with these questions. Enjoy your day.
