Finally, my approval from Tricare!!!

I finally got my approval from Tricare standard this morning! Wasnt to bad at all....my first time I submitted and it was approved......I was very worried, because when I started this whole process in Nov 2006, I met their standards......and I was very worried after recently reading their standards that I would be denied! I was approved tho, and quickly at that!!! I am so happy I chose to change from Tricare prime to Tricare standard......I have spent about 350.00 out of my pocket.....but a far as I am concerned it was well worth it!!!! Will let ya all know when I get my date......the insurance girl said it looks like roughly end of May beginning of June! Hope you all have as good a day as I am having!! Hugs! Terri

Teri- That's GREAT! I went throught the Tricare Standard process, and it was very easy - from beginning to end. Good luck to you! Jill 263/136

Congrats Terri! Keep us posted on your journey. Courtney

Hooray for you! I should be getting my date soon too. Maybe we will both be in May! I have heard lots of good things about Dr. Fontana from Portsmouth Naval. Congrats, Jen

Congrats Terri!! My surgery was March 6th and I was first on the list for surgery. Well I received a phone call 5:00 pm the night before letting me know that tricare still hadn't approved mine, so I moved from the first person on the list to the last. I recevied a call at 10:am the morning of my surgery to let me know things finally went through and at 10:30am I was at the hospital. It was hetic, but it happened! Good luck with yours. Maria

That's great news Terri, i'm still waiting on my protein levels to straighten out... Dr.Mann had me go for more blood work on Monday, so now it's a sit and wait game.....

Woohoo! That is so exciting! I am really happy for you! Hugs, Robin

Congrats! Christina S

Morning Terri - Congratulations! Have a blessed day! Kat
