Did you just pay out of

pocket to the s and then take your bill to tricare and

hopefully they will reimburse you?

Yep! That's exactly what we did... and I have no idea what will happen next. I

sent in the invioce/receipt for the shoes/ bar with a diagnosis and prescription

for ortho shoes/brace from Dr Ponseti. WE used the DD Form 2642 to send in the

claim and attached the invoice and Dr.Ponseti's stuff. The thing is: WE pulled

GAbe out of Tricare Prime and placed him in Tricare Standard, so we can self

refer and, of course, have Dr. Ponset write the recommendation.

I don't know anything about Tricare, but did you try telling them how

much the brace ACTUALLY costs, compared to the amount the local shop

wants to charge you? That is an unbelievable mark-up! No wonder our

medical insurance and co-pays are so high!

Perhaps if you tell them how much the shoes/bar really cost, they may

allow you to just order it yourself. I've had some luck with that.
