Lightbulb Re: Tricare questions

** Questions**
I called Triwest and they told me that my first doctor appt for my consultation is approved and the reason they had “Modifications” on there is because I didn't chose my doctor yet. I did choose my doctor and made my appt, yay! Has anyone been denied after the first (approved) consultation with the surgeon?

I forgot to ask the lady I talked to on the phone from Triwest. Can I print out the approved status I got online and bring that to the doctor or do I have to wait for the letter in the mail?

Another thing I saw on my online status that I don't quite understand and I forgot to ask is about the other thing on there. There are two things with approved with modifications...
~"office consultation: Approved w/Modifications " &
~"office/outpatient visit, new: Approved w/Modifications"
So I know I'm approved for the consultation but what is "office/outpatient visit, new"?, it says I'm approved for it but I don't know what that’s for...I'm thinking it’s the next appt after the consultation but I don't know, just asking to see if anyone has had this on their status online or approval letters and if they might know the answer. It’s a holiday weekend because of the 4th so I won’t be able to call until Monday so that’s why I’m asking you guys :)

Thanks for all the answers on my questions really appreciate it!!!
