Guest guest Posted December 22, 2008 Report Share Posted December 22, 2008 We have registration ask when verifying benefits for each Tricare patient. Some policies tell us it has to be a PT and some say a PTA is ok.

Guest guest Posted January 5, 2009 Report Share Posted January 5, 2009 We have not found this to be true. We have asked Tricare reps. We were told PTAs OK. Perhaps some of their reps are misinformed?
