I am officially cleared for surgery and my package is now being submitted to my insurance company,  Even though it didn't really take me all that long it feels like an eternity. 

Does anyone know how long TriCare takes to respond?  I wasn't anxious about pushing the date along until now.  Now I just want to move forward!!!

A big thank you to all who post on here, it has been immensely helpful!!!

My referral was sent to Tricare(Triwest) last Friday, and this Wednesday the hospital called me to get the ball rolling. I thought it was extremely fast, but that just makes me more excited. I hope yours is quick too.

Tricare is one of the fastest (if not THE FASTEST) to get a response from. Usually it takes from 24-72 hours (not including weekends) to receive your response from them.  You should be able to check your status online.  It's usually posted there before they call you or send out the letter.

Keep us posted!!
