As of June 30, 2025, patients have the option to not visit the TRICARE Operations and Patient Administration Flight (TOPA) to “activate” a referral, unless a specialty provider requests notes. This hastens the referral process, allowing patients to see specialty providers in the network as soon as necessary.
