I also have Tri-care but do not know about Portsmouth. I wish you well on your journey Hugs

Have you had the surgery already? If so where at? Did you have any issues with tricare?

Thanks

yes, at OHSU in Portland Oregon. I did have issues before I was approved ( they turned me down three times before I was approved ) but after that it was ok. They paid for all of the surgery and doctors. Good luck on your journey, hugs

I googled it! I think it's awesome that they do bariatric surgery at the Military hospital! I have Tricare too..and had my surgery off base as there was no on base program and I had no problems with Tricare. From what I read about Portsmouth's program, it looks like they make it easy to get the surgery, that's awesome! Good luck for your upcoming appointment
