Approved!!

Hello All,

My husband has finally received APPROVAL from Tricare for RNY.  Yeaaaaa!

Andrea at BMI has his file and will let us know if they have everything before scheduling his surgery.    Hopefully Hill AFB Med Group has sent over his records.  Sometimes dealing with a military organization isn't always smooth sailing.  But, I think we've taken care of everything else.

I will keep you posted.

Michelle,

Great news regarding your husband.  I too was just approved by my insurance co, I have a surgery date of Oct 20.  It will be nice to go through this with others that are beginning the journey to health.

 CONGRATS TO HIM! I am waiting for my first letter and I feel like I have been waiting forever. I am so nervous and anxious. My doctor was so suppotive. He put my referal in on friday morning, how long should it take?
Much love,
Sarah

It shouldn't take too long.  Once it's been submitted to the insurance, they have 30 days to get back to you.  After that, the surgeon will call you letting you know it was approved and about a month or so out will be your surgery date.
