  1. ya'll....you cant sue Tricare, its the government
  2. Carolina, I tried to reply. im just not good at these forums. they denied me for physicans diet but yet no one at Tricare can or will tell me what to do. I think the surgeons office is confused too. The surgeons office said they submit but if its denied their work stops there. So im on my own. my direct email is bmxmomla@aol.com

  10. I can understand your frusteration. I have Tricare prime south . I had 2 other insurnces but after TRICARE said they woiuldnt cover bariatrics if I had other insurance I quit the other two. I saw surgeon who said I am an excellent candidate. EVERYONE in my family has died of diabetes, including my dad at 45 and my son is very brittle t 26.The surgeons office submitted everything and I was denied for not having physician supervised diet, I called Tricare to find out exactly what that meant and I was given the reply of "oh I don't know!" On my own I saw my ob gyn who has it documented since2007 weve discussed weight loss diet exercise weight watchers etc (ive been a member of ww since 2007) the doc wrote me an excellent letter and resubmitted. please cross your fingers.
