Any other Military Wives out there? Tricare South?

Hubs is in the AF and we are stationed at Tinker. We have tricare south which is Humana military, anyone else dealt with them? How long did it take to get the authorization once it was submitted?

Tricare South Prime. I

Tricare South-Prime, I see a civilian Dr because the nearest hospital of excellence is 3 hours away! I had my lapband out about 7weeks ago and I was required to submit proof of exercise (gym membership), documented weight from beginning of band to post band removal, psych eval and approved! No pre-op diet ordered! I consider that to be pretty darn lucky! I will schedule surgery 10/21

I am in Dallas and our small reserve base Fort Worth NAS JRB won't isn't able to do it. I have been referred to a doctor out in town. I figured that the process would be much quicker if I went the military route. Is it worth it to travel hours to another military facility? Is that an option?
