I, too, have Tricare Prime. They paid for my lower body lift (with documented chronic rashes and back pain) but not for breast lift, arm lift nor inner thigh lift.

Tricare has approved my abdominoplasty. Tricare is very fair! Just get your documentation. They will approve your reconstructive surgery, as long as you can show rashes, back pain etc etc. Get your documentation with your PCM and pictures if you can.

They aren't covering mine here at PNH. They make you pay 'at cost' at the hospital. And because we have the facility to perform this, Tricare will NOT pay for anyone else to do it. I'm going to pay out of pocket with a civ. doc. I was not satisfied with the PS consult at PNH. I am seeing Dr. Merrill, I felt much more confident with him.
