Default Update on My Drama with Tricare

Ok so I was laying in bed lastnight just mullin over the whole wait for Trippler and my surgery and I had a brilliant idea. Why dont I callmy HMO and see if I cant get the surgery done off post with a civilian hospital. So low and behold I call and ya know what? All I have to do is have my PCM put in a request to the hospital and since our insurance is excepted there and I have co morbitities I can go there. I am once again excited...my doc is awesome and I know she will put me in for a request with no problems. I talked to the hospital where its done and they said once she sends my referral and my records it will only be a matter of time before I can get the ball rolling with them.

Alt Weight Loss Surgery Insurance
Yes, you can often get insurance cover for your Weight Loss Surgery.
Our own Craig "Big-T" Thompson has been there and done that, and he's written an e-book about it.

Awww thanks becka!
TODAY is my ONE year anniversary with this board,
and 3600 posts later i am still happy to help everyone
that stops in the board. I remember a year ago on
another board running into CHRISTY who invited me here.
THERE werent many members the board was just getting
on its feet! I am so proud to see the growth the board made
in my first year here.
I enjoy doing it.
HELPs me equally by me answering questions
it keeps my brain on track and focused too.
IT helps me as much as it helps those i reply to!

I hope in my 2nd year on this growing board
double my posts and more!
I do think there better be a new posting tittle
i have been a season vetran for just to long now!!!(hint hint to
the behind the scenes peeps)....

thanks becka!

I too am Tricare and that is what I had to do. I wish I would have realized that was your problem. I guess I am dense. Anyway you should be on your way now. Have you already had all the pre test that Tricare requires? Mattie in TX
