Ask the Doc Published Feb. 9, 2007 POPE AIR FORCE BASE, N.C. -- Q: How can I schedule my teenager an appointment with a dermatologist? A: To have an appointment scheduled with a dermatologist or any other medical specialty provider, you first need to see your Primary Care Manager. Just call 394-4258 or go to www.tricareonline.com to make an appointment. At your medical appointment, your PCM will determine if you need to be seen by a specialist for your medical condition. Your PCM will initiate the request and TRICARE will contact you about the referral appointment. Please send your questions to askthedoc@pope.af.mil. We look forward to hearing from you!
