☠carolinagirl☠ 18,721 Posted July 17, 2012 I am about to start getting my fills. My surgeon only does fluro fills (which is fine with me). Do we need to have any other approval for this type of fill? Tricare has already approved me 6 more visits until September. Please advise if you think that I need to get another type of approval from my Tricare. (we are tricare prime north as my hub is retired) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Short and Chunky 230 Posted July 17, 2012 Carolinagirl..I am Tricare Prime (South) and I have had four floroscope fills and a few regular fills. Tricare has paid for them all (I paid the co-pay). I see the doctor monthly and have for over a year and every one has been covered. As for getting a referral - my surgeon does that out of his office so I don't have to worry about it. In fact, my appointments are set for the rest of this calendar year. Melinda in Florida 1 ☠carolinagirl☠ reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Short and Chunky 230 Posted July 17, 2012 Carolinagirl - the first one was a bit scarey - not sure what to expect. But I have not had a single problem with my fills. It helps renew your spirit and your dedication a bit. Melinda in Florida 1 ☠carolinagirl☠ reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

☠carolinagirl☠ 18,721 Posted July 18, 2012 Had over 6 fills (not in fluro which is more exact) and knock on wood no PB's or vomitting. so is it possible when you have fills, to not pb or vomit? that is really scary to me. (i read alot of complications from fills on here) and since my first one maybe in the next couple weeks) i am kinda on the fence teetering and wondering......
