tricare question?

[nikkilvsyou 1]

Ok so I finally.finished my 6 months of weigh in with my dr and the surgeon submitted everything I just received the letter from tricare saying that

V-band gastroplasty = not approved

Gastric bypass for obesity = not approved

Lap gastric bypass = not.approved

Laparoscopy biopsy = approved

What does that mean. My surgery date is Jan 14

And this really bummed me out specially because I have no clue what.that means

That's what I'm thinking but why would they only approve the last one?? I'm so sad!! I was so excited for surgery in 2 weeks

nik also call your insurance coordinator at your surgeons office, It could be something that they need more clarification from or something. Don't panic yet. (but i know you are) they will figure it out.
