Re: Champus Insurance also known as Tricare

[Guest guest]

Msadvo,

We also are a military family and have TriCare. We have had success in

getting Tricare to pay for some of the bills, although we do pay " up front "

for office visits. We had our children's primary care doc order the blood

work and the only test that TriCare did not pay for was the Food Allergy

panel from Meridian Labs. That cost us about $95.00 out of pocket. Office

visits must be paid up front to the office, but if you submit them to

TriCare, they are covered as a " point of service " benefit. This means only

50% is covered and then at a percentage (I think 80%), but every little bit

helps. Telephone consults are not covered under Tricare, so we have paid

those out of pocket.

TriCare can be a challenge at times, but it does not necessarily mean you can

not see Dr. G.

Also, if you need assistance with airfare, please go to

www.unlockingautism.org, then click on " Wings for Little Angels " . You can

apply for complimentary airfare for each child and an adult caregiver.

I hope this helps!

Will the military cover your blood work and meds?, because that is the

biggest part of the expense.

> I was totally shocked and I am still in shock to know that I have went

through the process of filling out all of the paper work in order to get an

appointment with Dr. G and then to be told he cannot see me because of my

insurance coverage. I am a military spouse and it really is ashame that

many of us have to sit my on the sidelines because we do not possess the

right insurance needed to see Dr. G. I had no problem purchasing the 3

tickets needed to get there but for 2 kids to be seen would cost me both my

arms and legs. When will Dr. G be open to an insurance such as Tricare if

ever?
