Once again...Tricare

Lucky me, my surgeon's office called and asked if I wanted to come re-weigh in since it's been almost three months since the official weigh in, and if I meet or exceed the required lbs they will resubmit. BINGO!! They're resubmitting!!! It's a darn good thing I didn't start dieting before finding out if the authorization was granted. I needed every pound and then some!!

Must update the ticker!! Still haven't figured out how to make it appear with the link to the ticker factory site intact... oh well.

Hello,

i have tricare prime too. I had to put a some weigh for them to cover and they did. I was banded May 4.. love this band!

That's great to hear!! And so glad for you. I'm Tricare Standard and it seems a liitle different. Hard to know what is going to be covered when all is said and done, IF I get authorization. I'm hoping the resubmit and my letter will make it happen. I've been trying to just get to the point of submitting (nearly 5 months) and then to get turned down the first time was pretty diappointing. If I hadn't read on here how many were turned down and then approved after appealing, I would have given up. But it's been a long haul and I'm not giving up now!! So sitting on pins and needles again....waiting...hope to have an authoriazation in the next day or two. Thanks for the comment!!
