Welcome I'm not sure about Tricare standard as I am on Prime. I believe the 30 day thing is correct. Maybe we will get some more input. Diana

I am also Tricare Prime, but I would think something like paperwork being turned in would be the same no matter. If that is the case, I am approved and I am 45 days out from my date and my approval is valid thru 11/26 so I don't know. Just thought I would pass on the info. Oh and BTW WELCOME TO THE BOARD

Well, I have tricare standard as well (hubby is based in VA, and We live in CO... *sigh* no oceans here... no MTF's here). They JUST approved me today for surgery and the surgery has to be done before the 9th of september... so honestly, I would wait a few to submit it... and you'll be ok. Honestly you would be fine doing it now, but waiting a week or so gives you an extra week leeway incase your surgery has to be postponed. For Approval, honestly all you will need is your doc's dictations, any paperwork that the docs office has you fill out, and anything from your behavioral evaluation and you should be good to go. Tricare approved my surgery in less than 12 hours... So GOOD LUCK!!!! Krissy
