Tricare appeal letter



Recommended Posts

So Tricare is being difficult and hubby is sweating bullets. The doctor's office is confused because they say Tricare is not being consistent and using outdated regulations. I have to go in and get measured. Hubby wants to know if anyone has appealed a denial to Tricare and been approved and if they have a copy of their appeal letter.

I had to appeal my denial with tricare. The decision was made within 7 days of me mailing the letter and other information I submitted along with it. Tricare is now becoming strict with their approvals. If you meet the requirements then you should be fine. Just note the requirment you fall under.

I've been told by other Tricare professionals that whoever is reviewing my case is not interpreting their policy correctly. I should qualify but none of this is helping me at this point. I'm giving it one more try then hoping that their policy changes soon. I'm starting Weight Watchers today. I'm depressed and frustrated.

I was denied today also so I guess I need to work on my appeal.

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
