Do any of you have difficulty getting medical care? My civilian doctor has departed the area. Since I am now TriCare Standard only, lost BCBS when I retired from my civilian job, we decided to go back to the base for care. Was told by Tri Care rep that the base clinic will no longer accept retiriees who were not previously in care. They will accept newly retired only. When I asked why, we were told that the clinic commander made the decision due to low manning and high demand. So now I have to go look for a doctor who will accept Tri Care and new patients. I know some of you are probably located near large Military Medical Hospitals so you may not have a problem.
