So, I was living in Arizona and had my 6 months of insurance required nutrition visits. Then we had to move because my husband is serving in the military. I'm just wondering if I'm going to have to start over and if any of you have moved during this process?

Thanks!

I had to when I moved (2 different insurance providers) Are you using TriCare? They might be able to transfer your records.

Talk to them before the move to see what you need to do. If you are having it done at the base hospital there might be things you can streamline.

I switched practices half way through. I was incredibly uncomfortable with the former practice and feel so much better/safer with my new surgeon. I was open with my insurance company and they supported me 100%. Make sure you fill out all the HIPAA release forms ASAP and have your records emailed to you (paper copies can get lost/damaged). Your new practice should have no problem accepting the prior doctors information.

GOOD LUCK!

I started in Tricare north region then moved to South region I have Tricare standard. I changed from a clinic in Illinois to mayo Clinic in Florida. I just had all my records sent over and picked up from there. I was approved in the South region then moved back to the North region. Tricare told me as long as I have surgery where I was approved I will be OK. I will still have surgery at Mayo Clinic in Florida where I was approved even though I now live in the North region. This is how Tricare standard works though. Prime is another type of beast

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!
