Tricare or Triwest question and those who paid it themselves!

what are the requirements in order to get the WLS paid in a military facility? I know other insurance companys only cover if you have a BMI of 40+ or have a BMI of 35-40 w/some kind of other complication. I have a BMI of I think 38. And I have PCOS. So I have a higher risk of getting diabetes.... TIA!!

Hello: I cannot say I am familiar with TRICARE'S standards for WLS. I ended up having mine at a MTF, as it was less than 100 miles from where I live. I would have perfered it locally, but all in all my treatment was great. Best of luck and I am 3wks post op, and my BMI is just NOW getting down to yours at 38..................... still so far to go Be safe. Heidi Moody
