Tricare Reserve Select Co Pays



Recommended Posts

Hi!! I am new to this site. I have Tricare Reserve Select and have already gone for my consulation with Dr. My BMI was 41.2, I almost fainted BTW!! =) I am going this afternoon for my Pshyc visit and waiting for nutritionist to contact me for my 2 visits with her. My consultation I had to pay $64.00, which included my deductible ($50.00) and then today they said it would cost me $94.00. I know they said I would have to pay for the nutritionist visits and should only be about $50.00 each session.

My question is: How much out of pocket do you end up paying for the surgery itself? Just curious how much it's gonna cost me. Help!! =) Have a great day!! :D

I very strongly suggest you contact Tricare and ask those very specific questions. You want to be sure you aren't being charged for internal costs at the surgeon's office that you're not required to pay, and that you don't end up with a whopping bill you aren't expecting. Find the Tricare office that pertains to you and call them up. They're the final word on what you should expect to pay:

Good luck!

With TRS, you have a catastrophic cap of $1000. You will have to pay the amount of your copays/deductibles until you have paid up to the $1000 for this fiscal year, which started Oct. 1. I had my surgery in December, so I had not put a big dent in my cap yet that year. Total, I probably paid about $800 of copays for everything (psych eval, preop testing, surgery, etc.) until I reached my cap.

      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.

      Hi, I’m new here. I’m currently on the liver shrinking diet. So far so good, but I have to say I haven’t found a protein shake I like. Anyone have any suggestions please? My surgery date is September 17th.

        Fairlife Core are by far the best. They taste just as they are - chocolate milk. You can either get the 26 grams or the 42 grams (harder to find and more expensive). For straight protein look at Bulksuppliments.com ..they have really good whey proteins and offer auto ship plus they test for purity. No taste or smell...

      2. BlondePatriotInCDA

        Fairlife has strawberry, vanilla and of course chocolate. No more calories than other protein drinks. Stay away from Premiere, they're dealing with lawsuits due to not being honest about protein content.
