Hello everyone. I'm new to this site. I have my assessment appointments next week and surgeon appointment in March. I'm also with Tricare which I hope will not be to complicated on this matter. Hope to be approved soon. This site is so wonderful.

I am so relieved to hear that Tricare might not be so bad. I'm a little nervous. Next week I meet with the nurse,dietician,rehab and psychology. Two weeks later I meet with the surgeon. I'm hoping that is a good sign.

Hi lanna, tricare isn't that bad at all. from what i have read and experienced as long as you meet the requirements you will get approved! what is so funny is that we are more nervous and scared about the insurance approval than the surgery itself!! lol lol. (i know i was) You will be fine! Also, if this helps the approval dosen't take long some people have found out the same day,but the average wait is usually 5 buisness days i found out in 4 days.You can monitor your approval on my tricare.com, but you have to sign up. I also called to check it periodically and they were nice on the phone. They will either tell you it is still pending or you will hang the phone up with your authorization #. I hope this little bit of info will help.
