Approval from tricare

I spoke with Tricare to see if my paperwork was submitted and it was they told me it is a limited benefit and takes 7-10 days for approval has to be reviewed by nurse. How long didit take for some of you to get approval and what does limited benefit mean ? Tina

My surgery was approved in just over 24 hours once they received the paperwork. Good Luck Leann

I was told by Tricare that it takes 24-48 hours for approval. Anyhow, good luck and I hope you get that approval.

well hopefully I will hear something soon Im getting very nervous and excited all at the same time they did tell me me that they said the date for the surgery they put on the paperwork is Nov 20,07. Im crossing my fingers. Tina

I was watching online for mine to be submitted and the DR's office submitted it on Friday afternoon and it was approved Tuesday morning. I believe the limited refers to the benefit is only good for so long. I know mine said it was good from 10/11/2007 - 1/9/2008.

Mine was submitted on Friday also but have not heard anything yet will try to call agian tomarrow. Tina

Tina I know how you are feeling. It will be quick. Like everyone has said Tricare typically takes 24 to 48 hours for surgery approval. Mine took around 36. It is going to be fine. I have great faith that you will be approved . Just keep praying, and stay busy. I know easier said than done. I will be praying for you. Jaye Jaye

I sure don't know what a limited benefit means. They never said anything like that to me. My paper work went in Friday evening and was approved Monday morning. All approvals have come through for me within 48 working hours. I would ask them what a limited benefit means. Diana
