Re: Champus insurance anyone??

[Guest guest]

I didn't have Champus, but two of my friends did. Both of them had the

surgery about five years ago. I can ask them if they'll contact you if you'd

like. Just let me know.

Yes please! I would love to speak to others who used champus!

Thanks,

Hi! What do you mean by being approved by Champus standard but then waiting

to see what comes up from them? I am new to this so sorry if it doesn't

quite make sense :-)

well,

in the past we have been getting bills stating that " only $$$ allowed " so

if $10 was allowed and it cost $90 then I would have to pay the other $80 .

well I haven't gotten a bill from them yet on the surgery yet but I'm

waiting ....

in response to this ,what she means is first you go to your pcm which is

primary care manager and let them know you would like to be considered for

haveing the surgery, then they write you a referral to go see a doc who does

the sugery he then submits a claim to your insurance which is tricare to see

if they willl covert he surgery and they in turn let you know if you can go

ahead that is how the tricare not champus works now . champus was dicontinued

two years ago .god bless nicole
