Calling any and all bandsters with Tricare insurance

I am in the process of fighting for insurance approval right now. The case worker I am dealing with said that it would be helpful to complie a list of any and all names of previously banded tricare patients. I am hoping to be able to push this on through approval. I am very frustrated, because they are willing to pay for the more expensive and more dangerous rny, but not the banding. They don't even list a reason why they exclude banding, only that it is not a covered benefit. Would appriciate hearing from any bandsters out there with experience in dealing with Tricare.
Thanks for your time,
