how long for approval

I just went on the Tri-care website and found that my referral for surgery was submitted this morning. Does anyone know about how long it takes to get an approval? Right now mine shows a P next to the referral does this mean it is being reviewed for approval it just says pended when I click on it. Any help would be appreciated. Leann

Hi Leann. It usually takes about a week. its really quick. The P stands for pending like you said. You're right. I think that means they are reviewing it. I wish you the best of luck!

Mine was pending for about 24 hours. Good luck!!!! Andi

Thanks for your reply. I guess I will wait for the P to change. I am really hoping that I am approved. I meet all of the requirements for approval but I am not a very lucky person so I am not very optimistic. I guess I can just sit and wait. Thansk again for your reply. Leann

Hey Leann!!! I was approved within 24 hrs. I wouldn't be surprised if you found out today. Let us know!!!!! Erica

Thanks for your workds of encouragement. I know that I meet the criteria for the surgery but how can I be sure that will get me an approval. The wait is going to drive me crazy. I keep going to the tricare website praying that I will have approval. How are you feeling? Leann

Mine too was with-in 24 hours. Tricare received my request at around 3pm and I was approvel the next morning. So GOOD LUCK

Could you Please give me the website that you got your info on?! I have gone onto tricares website to try and get my status, but I have had no luck gettin it thus far. Thanks -Mary

I looked at the Tricare Europe's website (this is what you are since you are in Germany, right?) and I don't see a login anywhere. So you may not have that service available. That stinks. Andi
