Finally Approved By Tricare Prime

Feb 08, 2011

So those who may have been following my blgs, After much headaches and footwork by me, Tricare Prime has finally approved my surgery for the 21st of Feb. Im excited and cautious all in one emotion. My primary care resubmitted for a new referral for the basic again, and then Tricare came back and approved that. The surgery scheduler resubmitted for the surgery with the new referral number, and Tricare came back stating I needed a TSH test (Thyroid). I had that test done last friday morning (4 Feb) and the doc had the results back that afternoon and they submitted that to Tricare also. Monday morning, I had my approval for the surgery. So 7 days prior to surgery I will start my Pre-OP diet of liquid which will help shrink my liver down. I did the pre-op doc visit on the 4th also, and the pre-op class this past monday. Im looking forward to it and all that it will bring me.
