Good Luck and congratulations on your journey so far.

Good Luck...hope you hear soon!

I've heard Tricare can be pretty fast. East or west?

I was told by my doctors office that they are pretty fast too. It is WEST. On the website, my referrals, it shows PENDING....

I have gotten amazingly fast response from west. Here's to your approval within the next week.

I got my approval from Tricare west in a week. You can also call Tricare it's self and see if you can speed the process along too! Good luck!

The website shows it was received Feb 5 and shows status as PENDING. I will call them tomorrow in case the website just hasn't been updated

I had to click on the referral and it had 2 sections. One will say pending until the actual surgery the other will have the room and board and if that says approved than you are approved!
