I need input from Tricare Standard ppl regarding billing
Mimilou2004 posted a topic in LAP-BAND Surgery Forums
I have Tricare Standard Southeast and they are now saying they won't pay for fills except every 91 days. Has this happened to anyone else? If not restricted to every 91 days, can you tell me what code your claims are being paid under? Thanks so much, Mimi -

Thanks, KK, yes I qualify for Prime, but I get the majority of my health care from the VA for no charge so until this band I didn't need Prime. Now the majority of my expenditures are behind me so I don't want to change. Mimi -
Banded for 7 months and now too much restriction
Mimilou2004 replied to karebare714's topic in LAP-BAND Surgery Forums
I really think you are either a tad too full or you haven't adjusted to restriction yet and need to adjust your bite's size downward and chew a little more. Being overfilled is miserable and ultimately unhealthy, even with fast weightloss as a quick pay off. Best wishes. Mimi -
You have probably not changed your eating habits. Slow way down and cut ALL of your food into pieces the size of a pencil eraser. It makes a huge amount of difference. Mimi

Fills and delayed restriction
Mimilou2004 replied to taylorgirl1's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
The last 2 fills have resulted in unfills....the day and evening of the fill I am fine then the next morning I am completely blocked. Very bad feeling and by the time I got in for an unfill this time I was dehydrated and had lost 4 pounds of fluid weight. Flouro may be in my future!!! Mimi -
