Hi everyone! I'm new here, my name is Brenda! I turned 20 years old yesterday.

Well here are the facts: I have Tricare Prime insurance. My BMI is 33, I'm 200 pounds. I have back pain, knee pain, joint pain in my hip, and acid reflux. Do you think this is enough to get approved?

Thanks for any answers you can provide! xoxoxo

I also have Tricare Prime; unfortunately, I think your BMI needs to be at least 35, even with the co-morbidities, or you have to be at least 100 pounds overweight without any. However, it can't hurt to try; they should give you a pretty quick response.
