worried about getting grey hair waiting on approval with tricare prime



Recommended Posts

I've started my process this July with dr visit weigh ins and got my upper gi done went to my nutrition appointment tomorrow I have my psychiatric appointment and my sleep apnea study ..just wondering if I do get diagnose with sleep apena does it make my process longer? I've done 2 months out of 6 with my pcp I started at a bmi of 39 and I'm 4'9 and weigh 183 pounds concerned that if I lose weigh and my bmi slightly goes down that tricare won't approve :/ (bitting my nails) very anxious and excited at same time.

Hi! I am new to this group. I joined today:-) I also have tricare and I was approved. I have some pointers if you would like them. First, if you go online there is a sample letter of what they are looking for in your answer as to why you should be approved. I used this as a template to help me get started. Next, what state are you in? I live in Nebraska and they have a 6 month program you attend once a month which always gets you approved.

Thank you for your info I'm from Arizona and waiting for other people who have been where I am now ..I guess everyone who has tricare have to vo thru 6 months of weigh ins with their pcp for the insurance to get approved from what I read I've vone to the bariatric office and I guess they need my psychiatric results and sleep apnea results plus the 6 months nutrition weigh ins to be finished before they send my file to get approved from what I have read on here

If this is where you are then yes. They like to have everything in your file before they submit however, if it offers you any consulation. I hear Tricare responds quicker than most. Mine was approved in two days. I logged in online to track it myself and I saw approved. I immediately called the doctors office and they said that was quick. They said Tricare was fast but not that fast. The region I'm in is now handled by United Healthcare so Im not sure if that speeded up the process or not. I live in Nebraska. I pray you get an approval.

      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.
