Tricare Prime!!
I have called Tricare at least 5 xs a day and they wont tell me what criteria they need for surgery. I asked them about the 6 mth diary.I seen every1 on here sayin they dont need it....but I talked to the Refural Man. and she said I have to do the 6 mth diet....WTF!!! Ive looked on the Tricare websites and can't find anything. please someone help me....where is it posted at as to what I need????HELP
I answered the duplicate post on the military forum. Tricare does not require the diet/diary. All they require is height, weight, proof of co-morbidities (if you have any), and the psych eval (though I've seen some people approved without the psych eval). I'm not sure what region you are in, but go to your regions website and do a site search. I'm TriWest and searched Gastric Bypass.
Good Luck!
