TRICARE RUMOR NOT SUBSTANTIATED BY 1-877 TRICARE(874-2273)

I called tricare benefit / authorization line for the northeast and specifically requested they verify they were reviewing the most updated cpb, and the ds is still covered and there is not change indicated to be implemented or being considered. I had a new representive and a trainer /supervisor on line to confirm the benefit level. All should call and confirm themselves.As they do take the ss# of the caller so i cannot politely call again as to challange a differ representative.

Walter- I am so happy to hear this. When I call Tricare I have to call Tricare South. Thank you for getting it nailed down. Normally I am a very calm rational person, not given to believing the sky is falling type stories. However, this did seem credible. I am going to redouble my efforts toward getting everything done that I need to secure my insurance approval as quickly as possible. Thanks again Walter.

for those vets not entitled to tricare, see my post on va, they will cover wls, on the main board.

Walter, Did they give you the billing code they were using for the DS. This is very important information.
