200% percent overweight

Tricare denied me because I didn't meet their requirements I get the 100lbs overweight with co-morbidities, but how do you figure out the 200% overweight ideal body weight. I am nurse and a very good one if I may say without sounding full of myself, but I have no idea how to figure that out? Anyone else know?

I have no idea but would guess that 200% would be double your ideal weight!

They take your ideal weight and double it. I was 100 lbs over and had hypertension so I was approved, but without a co-morbidity I would not have been approved unless I weighed 300 lbs because my "ideal" weight for my height (5'7") is 150.

Wouldn't 200% overweight be more than double your weight? If your ideal weight is 150 and you're 100% overweight, I guess that would mean you're 300 lbs. (150+150). 200% overweight may actually be 450 (150+150+150). Math has never been my strong suit though, so I'm just guessing.

I was told that by my Tricare advocate, so that is what I am going by :-)

If you haven't already appealed, there are some samples in the the Ins/Finance board on here. I think someone had a Tricare appeal on there.
