RNY to DS - anyone have Tricare?
I've read on here from a few members that Tricare Prime and Standard will not cover DS. I had a VSG revision from the band, and had to have my revision at a MTF because they are not approved as a covered procedure with civilian surgeons. I have a civilian PCM and get referred out to civis for everything, but I had to request that my referral get sent specifically to the MTF for the revision.

Here at Madigan (Ft Lewis) they are doing them! I had a revision from an old VBG to RNY. But I know a few doing RNY to DS. No problems with them getting approved. I don't know about being referred to a civilian, though.
