I had to see my primary care provider who then referred me to an OB/GYN. If you don't have the referral, then you will be paying out of pocket.

Its Tricare. You have to get the referral. Call the PCD line and let them know you just need the referral to see a OB Gyn for pregnancy. Its very simple.

You have to have a referral to go to any specialty clinic, it is just the way it is.

On post at the hospital/Clinic on Fort Sill. I tried to make an appointment for my PCP to get a pregnancy test. They told me I had to go to OBGYN and do that. Everything at Reynolds is in one building. But different posts might be different. Or Tricare has changed again.

Yup, they will do a blood test and then give you a referral to OB.
