Does anyone know if tri care will cover to have a revision? Or has anyone had a revision who has tri care insurance?

Dr. Eric Schlesinger in Phoenix specializes in Revisions.  He accepts TriCare.  You still have to meet the TriCard guidelines(????) for revision though (probably at least a 35 BMI, diagnostic testing to show a failure of soem type, medical necessity, and such..... A friend is scheduled to have a revision with Dr. Villares in Phoenix.  She also has TriCare. Good luck!

I guess that would depend on what type of revision you're looking for.  I've heard Tricare is difficult to work with.
