Tricare Approval or Denial??

[munger 0]

I looked at the weight chart - and if you are 13 pound light then that means that they want you to be right in the middle of the "medium" weight limits or higher. I was denied - they did not even tell me why. So I went crazy and documented everything. Then I had to send the infor to Aroura Co. - these people have not turn around time, no requirements to contact you or even update your status. So I have been waiting for almost 2 months - with no indication one way or the other!!! I hope you do not have to deal with them!!!!

Did you send your package back to the first people who denied you or did you have to send your package to a different place?

Well I sent my appeal in today !!! They said they have 3 weeks !! So I just pray...now

I will also say a prayer for you.

When you submitted your appeal did you have to resubmit it to a different place. The first time I was denied I submitted my paperwork to AZ. When I turned my appeal in the second time I had to send it to Colo. I have been informed that they have NO timelimit to respond to the appeal!! So I could wait 3 months to a year!!! I have been waiting 3 months now!!

I hope they go quickly for you.

I had to send it to the same place but I faxed everything so I am not sure I believe it was somewhere in KY. I talked to the lady and they recieved everything. According to her the turn around time has been 3 weeks. She said I can call in a check on it. I am just too scared to lol..

This is driving me nuts - It has been over 2 months and there seems to be no end in sight! I even emailed Tricare to make sure of the policy - and they stated that there was no time limit. I would love to find out before Christmas.

GREAT! I hope everything goes well for you. We have about the same profile - so I am REALLY glad to see you get approved because maybe I still have a chance! When are you going to get it done? Will you do it before Christmas? Will you have to go on a Protein diet? You are so lucky - I am sooooo jealous!!

Hi guys after a long fight with Triwest I finaly got my APPROVAL. I sent my last chance appeal to TMA on Nov 26th and today I was told by the Appeal person at Tricare that my case was reversed and it was APPROVED. Now all I need to do is wait to Triwest issue my authorization and schedule my surgery. Thank you soo much for all the support.:laugh:
