TRICARE East: No updates yet on how claims are paying.

TRICARE EAST:  We have no updates yet about how TRICARE East claims are paying. You’ll remember we’re looking to see if doctors are paid more if they’re credentialed directly through TRICARE vs doctors credentialed through the EyeMed TRICARE network. Unfortunately, the new East region is getting off to a slow start. They’re quoting a 30-90 day processing time for electronic claims submissions, so it may be a bit before we have our answer. But we will keep you updated just as soon as the first claims come back for doctors in each credentialing group!
