Sorry I did not clarify originally. I never had a referral I was admitted to the hospital in Austin and on the 3rd day of me being there I was diagnosed and made an appointment with the off-post GI before I was discharged. So was paid for by tricare due to it initially being an ER visit. This...

Not given yet. Was part of a tentative plan with the off-post GI to start that process with our next appointment at the end of may.

Tried this and the nurses push the referral to the GI each time. Thanks for all these tips though I appreciate the help.

Yes I have all the off post records documented through the medical records office on base and the on-post GI stated on the phone that he did not trust civilian doctors and wanted to redo the procedures and biopsies that have already been done. After the off-post gi has given me steroids and...

Thanks again for the info. A nurse case manager in association with the PA informed me that medication such as Humira is very likely to initiate the MEB process, for anyone that is also looking for information pertaining to this topic. When I find out more I’ll add updates.
