my PCM referred me to my surgeon who then sent in all the paperwork for the actual surgery, however your PCM must send in the request to see the surgeon. with tricare, everything must be individually approved by tricare (but my PCM was by a civilian doctor, not on an army base so I don't know if it would be different). Just make sure that you don't have any special requests (for example they do not cover private hospital rooms, and that could leave you with a major bill)
