Yes, but here are certain conditions that must be met. TRICARE cost shares on any of the following open or laparoscopic surgical procedures: Roux-en-Y gastric bypass Vertical banded gastroplasty Gastroplasty (stomach stapling) Adjustable gastric banding (i.e., adjustable LAP-BAND®) ONLY when all of the following conditions are met: You're at least 18 years old or you provide documentation of completion of bone growth. You were unsuccessful with non-surgical medical treatments for obesity. Your medical records must show your failed attempts.Diet programs, such as Weight Watchers®* and Jenny Craig®*, are acceptable methods of dietary management, as long as there’s medical documentation of participation and monthly clinical visits with your doctor. *These programs aren’t covered by TRICARE. Physician-supervised programs made-up of only weight-loss medication management, don’t meet this requirement. You have proof of one of the following:A body mass index greater than or equal to 40 kilograms per meter squared (kg/m2); or A body-mass index of 35-39.9 kg/m2 with one clinically significant comorbidity, including but not limited to, cardiovascular disease, type 2 diabetes mellitus, obstructive sleep apnea, Pickwickian syndrome, hypertension, coronary artery disease, obesity-related cardiomyopathy, or pulmonary hypertension. it covers it not sure why they you that. i would fight them on it. -
