Nothing much going on her...

Nothing much going on here. Just talked to Joyce and she said all the paperwork went out to tricare yesterday, so It's just a matter of waiting now. Tricare says it should only be about 24-72 hours though joyce said that they have been taking more like 7-10 days I am NOT good at waiting LOL. Never have been. But so far so good. Only 20 days and counting till the big day!!

Hang in there. I know the wait is hard.....but that phone call will come and you will be approved and ecstatic....we've all been where you are! Susann

I am not the best at waiting either and it took tricare a LONG time to send in the approval. I go for my pre op appointments on November 28th and the surgery on the 20th of December. But, after many days it finally came in and I was approved.I am scared! I wi**** was here and gone already!

NOTHIN' TO BE AFRAID OF, MS CHASTITY. I'D GUESS THAT 95% OF THE LADIES ON THIS BOARD WILL TELL YOU THAT THEY WERE WORRIED FOR NOTHING ... THAT IS WASN'T AS BAD AS THEY "IMAGINED" IT WOULD BE. RELAX & ENJOY THE JOURNEY ... IT'S THE BEST RIDE YOU'LL EVER GET FOR YOURSELF!!!!!!! GOD BLESS YOU DAWN & NICK

Hey Kylee, I too have Tricare and it took them 6-7 weeks to get me my approval. Tricare's guidelines are normally 24-72 hours if it is an emergency for you to have a procedure. The one problem that I had was my initial referral didn't say "Eval & Treat". It took so long for my PCM to get it straight after my initial consult. I wish you the best of luck with your journey!!

MINE TOOK 2 WEEKS, MS KYLEE ... WE HAVE TRI CARE PRIME & NICK IS RETIRED NAVY, SO I DON'T KNOW IF THAT WOULD MAKE A DIFFERENCE. BUT, DON'T BE WORRIED IF IT TAKES A LITTLE LONGER THAN EXPECTED, TRICARE IS ONE OF THE BEST AT AUTHORIZING THIS SURGERY FOR MEDICAL NECESSITY PURPOSES. GOD BLESS YOU DAWN & NICK

YOU KNOW YOU CAN GO ON TRICARE'S WEB SITE & CHECK YOUR REFERRALS, MS KYLEE ... THAT WOULD BE THE FASTEST WAY TO FIND OUT WHEN YOU ARE APPROVED. AN "A" WILL BE PUT NEXT TO THE REFERRAL DESCCRIPTION.
