I found a supplemental insurance for the CHAMPVA/TRICARE program. Takes six months for pre-exsiting conditions to be covered. Association & Society Insurance Corp. P.O. Box 2510 Rockville, MD 20847-2510 Website: www.asicorporation.com You can become also become a member of the American Military Retirees Association, Inc. ChampVA people do not need to be retired. Went to my seminar on Tuesday.

Thank you, I did call them and then I copied off their CHAMPVA Policy Manual on Surgery For Morbid Obesity. I do qualify because I have a BMI over 40 and I have pulmonary hypertension and obstructive sleep apnea but I may be denied because I have had Pulmonary embolization. They will have to determine if it will be okay or not. Then even if they do finding a surgeon may be diffcult. I will keep my fingers crossed that it can be done.

Has anyone went through CHAMPVA and been approved? What did you do?
