Tricare standard/extra....???????

 Im just wandering if anyone has dealt with Tricare standard/extra.....I called and I am covered......so thats good just wandering if you can give me details on how everything else is going to pan out.......any info would be greatly appreciated......thanks in advance

what surgeon are you going to? Dr. Hornbostel i know deals with tricare and it is very easy to get approval and get surgery scheduled from what i have seen....

I am going thru missouri bariatrics ...in columbia, mo,  Nicole Fearing is covered, and so is Archana Ramaswamy..... a friend of mine had nicole fearing and she recomended her, ive done all my research on all the surgeons there and id be ok with any one of them... my first dr appt is march 12th, ive already done my psych eval, and i have all my paper work ready....im just sitting and waiting for my dr appt...so i guess then i will know more details like who my surgeon will be and all that stuff.....i was just more curious how long after the first dr visit does it usually take to have surgery.......? thanks for your reply

 I have tricare prime and everything went smooth as silk for my RNY. With standard you just may have some extra copay. Get the referral from your PCM first and the doctors office can guide you thru the rest. Once mine was submitted for approval it was only a day or two and they called to tell me I was approved.

Good morning.the doctor i had for my surgery has left the office now but the other doctor's are good also.they are all very kind.i saw my doctor on feb 22 and by march 17 i had my surgery.we are praying for you to get a quick date.have a great day.god bless.susan.
