When I had my wls in '04 my pcm sent a letter to Tricare saying I was on a supervised diet for 6 months & a BMI over 40.
You have to either have a BMI of 35 with co-morbidities (misspelled?) or a BMI over 40.
Thats usually it for Tricare. They normally take the word of your physican. Your physican just have to send everything over correctly.
