question ...Do I need to call Tricare and tell them I have a surgery date

I was just looking over some of the paperwork I received yesterday. One thing that it notes is that you might need to contact your insurance and tell them your surgery date. My question is for you guys that have already had the surgery. Did you have to contact Tricare prior to your surgery? I was just curious. Thanks so much, Jaye Jaye

No I did not have to contact tricare to tell them my surgery date. Tricare actually told me when the doctor had scheduled me for surgery.

Tricare didn't tell me about my surgery date. I set it up with the Dr. after I had finished everything and was approved. I did call Tricare..just to make sure. You were absolutely right. They said as long as I had my approval (which I did). Everything was good to go. I am so excited that I finished preregistering at the hospital, and I met with the anithisiologist yesterday.(wow, that took an hour and a half). Everything is done. I am now just anxiously waiting for Thursday morning. Thanks so much for your help. Please think of me and keep me in your prayers. Jaye Jaye
