Guest guest Posted September 19, 2001 Report Share Posted September 19, 2001 Hello to all! I am new to this list and I am in need of Insurance advise please! My husband is in the military and our insurance is Tricare Prime. I would like to have the BPD/DS surgery! I know people have been approved to have the RNY done, but I don't think that is the surgery for me. I really would like to have the surgery done by Dr Elariny. I have heard lots of good things about him and his work. If anyone has had any experience with getting approved though Tricare Prime for this procedure I Could sure use some advise!! Thank you!

Guest guest Posted September 20, 2001 Report Share Posted September 20, 2001 Hi, heidi, I am a Federal Govt employee, and I got approved for surgery with Dr. Elariny through GEHA/Alliance. Looks like they have paid about $6,000 of his bills for about $8,000 as well as all but $500 of the $20,500 hospital bill; plus, other bills like the anesthesiologist. --Steve -- Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
