  1. Read my sad story about tricare
  2. Help. I have 3 insurances. Insurance 1 and 2 doesn't cover bariatrics at all. Insurance number 3 is Tricare who does cover. I went to my PCM on base who agreed that I am a good candidate but Tricare won't give me. Referral because they aren't my primary they won't give me a referral!!! So should I cancel ins one and two????
