So, I just returned from a fun four-day weekend in Vegas! I lost but had a blast with DH. I hadn't been online until this morning and saw that Tricare Prime has denied my approval. :biggrin: I can't believe how upset I am. I have a 35.6 BMI and have asthma and PCOS. I did a sleep study a week ago but those results haven't come through. My question and I'm hoping for some help is . . . has anyone appealed? Any pointers on how to get APPROVED? All help is greatly appreciated. Sad day for me. Thanks so much! Just me, Brenda B.

I am putting together an appeal letter just in case. I have been putting together research articles and all of my medical history. Like I have mentioned many times on here before, my surgeon and his nurse told me that Tricare approves everyone...and they didn't think there would be a problem getting me approved. I just want the waiting over with!!
