I know this is a long shot, but I was wondering if anyone had Tricare prime insurance and delivered at St. Clair hospital. I go see Dr. Patricia Bulseco and they deliver at St. Clair. They gave me a script today to go there and get my ultrasound but when I called the hospital, they said they don't take tricare prime or tricare prime remote. I called Dr. Bulseco's office back and they said that I have to get my ultrasound done at Mercy Hospital, but they deliver tricare patients all the time at St. Clair Hospital. I'm concerned that they may deliver there sure, but then get a bill later. I don't want that to happen so I need to find out ahead of time and was just wondering if anybody that has tricare used that hospital and what happened with the billing.
I delivered there in May of this year with TPR. You do have to doyour ultrasound at Mercy but Bulseco's office will get permission from Tricare to deliver at St. Clair. Is Bulseco your PCM. If not, you will have to call your PCM for a referral to Bulseco so bulseco's office can get the clearance at St. Clair. I was also Rh negative and got my rhogam shot at St. Clair and never received a bill. I had a couple of headaches over it but it all turned out ok. And i haven't received a bill so everything went well.
Also remember to take your script with you to Mercy and a cd or dvd. I had a sick child and forgot all of that stuff. They had to call bulseco's office for a new script.
Just to be safe call your insurance provider and see what they say about it.
