RE: Getting Approved

My BMI is 43, but I do not have any other health problems. I do have chronic lower back pain. My doctor told me that may help. I read the Tricare requirements about BMI and I met that requirement. That is great news to hear you got approved. Good luck!!!

For me approval was very quick and easy. Tricare made a record on approval the ladies at the office told me I had approval in less then 12 hours after submitting my paperwork

Tricare has changed their requirements for approval. They don't require a BMI anymore it is now 100 pounds overweight with comorbidities or 200% of body weight. When I started out the requirements were for the bmi's, but by the time i put in my packet it had changed. I missed out by 6 pounds and now I am in the appeal stage. Since i started the appeal process i have gained the weight that i needed to meet the inital requirements,so hopefully i will get approved. I am telling you this because i don't want you to get blindsided like i did. hope this helps, layla
