Tricare Denial today

[lanna 0]

Well, got the news that I was denied. Was told that you have to be 100 pounds overweight and have certain medical complications. I'm 80 pounds overweight and have hypothyroidism,IBS, high cholesterol,arthritis,RLS and suffer from depression. I take medications for all this and said that my conditions were all under control so I have no reason to appeal this matter. So I feel that Tricare has really screwed me. Don't know what I should do. Any advise would be welcomed. :thumbup:

You need to appeal. The last poster is right that they are deny lots of people right now especially if you are borderline. I am 106 pounds over with hypertension, arthritis, sleep apnea, depression and Crohn's disease and I was deny last week. I just resent my appeal in yesterday and right now it says that it is pending review. I sent in 15 pages of documentations along with letters from all my doctors' stating this surgery was needed. Plus I gathered information on how much it was costing them monthly for me to remain on the medication. I was successfully able to prove that they spend over $40,000.00 a year just on my medciation. Send in a appeal. Show them that you are serious.:scared2:
