Hi Briggete, I was wondering where in Mexico you went and if you don't mind me asking, how much did it cost? Thanks.

Ok, I received my referrel from Triwest to see a Dr. Korn. Info I could find on him and even talking with the staff, I did not have a warm fuzzy feeling if you know what I mean. I knew Dr. Valentine had taken Tricare Prime, which my family is under , on several patients he performed WLS on, and wanted to go to him. On my letter, it says, "you can choose another network provider for this service." and to review network providers in your area, go to the website, yadda, yadda, yadda. I called and got an appointment with Dr. Valentine's office and they were soooo helpful and understanding and sent me my packet right away! But when I called Tricare to let them know I had changed providers, they looked and found that he wasn't a network provider for Tricare PRIME, only Tricare STANDARD!!! I called Dr. V's office right away and she said she would have to email them and find out what their status was and also if they could change it to Prime to allow me to see Dr. V. I'm so disappointed but feel hopeful it will get settled before my appointment on 16 January. Everyone, please say a little prayer for me and for the offices involved so that they may sort things out in a positive way for me!! Thanks to everyone in here. I feel the support each and everytime I go into the chat room or post on this message board. Sandy
