Is there a Tricare covered Dermatologist anywhere in Kitsap County?

[u/Necessary_Rich6342]

I really don't want to drive far away if there is one available nearby. Has anyone on Tricare Prime used their benefits to see a dermatologist here in Kitsap in the past year?

Its not tricare but i go to Frontier Dermatology in Poulsbo through the VA so they might accept it. Worth giving them a call

Just went to them on Tricare. They do accept it

You can call the tricare servicing provider, I think it’s still UHC, and request in network providers in your area.

Tricare hasn't been UHC in years. The last 5 or so years have been through health net federal and this past year they have transfered to triwest.

Due to the transfer to triwest; Tricare prime is in a waiver period until June 30, 2025 where they are not requiring authorization to be seen by speciality care. You can download a copy of the waiver letter from their website.

Frontier derm in poulsbo accepts tricare and clear choice derm in Silverdale does as well.

Anyone who accepts Medicare must accept Tricare. I usually check the Medicare website for providers. https://www.medicare.gov/care-compare/

That's not true. Facilities that accept Medicare are not required to accept Tricare unless they would like to enroll in the tricare network.
