Oh crud another road block!!!!!!!!!!!! Am I the only one?
Ok called the surgeon's office today to see if maybe my PCP had possibly faxed my referral to them and maybe that is why they couldn't find it at the office. No such luck. But while I had the surgeon's office on the phone I asked if they had found out if I am required to do a 6 month medically supervised diet or not and conversation got around to insurance coverage somehow and I find out that the surgeon will accept Tricare Prime but not Tricare Standard!!!
Well that was a blow but at least I found out today instead of rolling along thinking everything was good and wasting too much more time.
So here I am on the hunt for a Surgeon that accepts Tricare Standard (hopefully is a participating provider) and that works at a hospital that is a participating provider for Tricare.
I think I may have found one in Louisville. Dr. Jeff Allen with Norton Healthcare. Has anyone ever heard of him? Is he good? I'm going to a seminar with him tomorrow at noon. Wish me luck this is just the beginning of the journey but hopefully I can stay strong and finish it.
