LVGirl 4 Posted May 17, 2011 My doctor has said that Tricare is one of the best ins companies to deal with (so long as you meet the requirements) and I am so blessed to have the opportunity I do. Thank you everyone and good luck to you as well! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Navywif99 0 Posted May 17, 2011 Im in the Triwest region as well. I have to see my pcm tomarrow for the nutrionist referreral and letter of necessity then it will be submitted. The surgeon says it usually takes up to 6 days for approval an i meet their requirements so Im hoping for a quick turn around with a mid June surgery date. Good luck with the surgery.
