Tricare South - Status 'Pended': What does that mean??
I just looked at my referral for tricare online and my status is 'pended'. Does anyone know what that means? Seen it before? Is it good or bad? If you were pended...where you approved or denied? so many questions!! ahahahahaha...what an agonizing process!!

Pended or pending to me would mean that maybe they are awaiting more information before approval. The best thing is to contact you provider directly and they should be able to tell you where your at. This is probably the most agonizing part of whole process is the waiting. Good Luck.
Pending, or pended means that they had received the paperwork, but haven't reached a decision yet. Check again first thing in the morning, it took maybe 45 minuted for mine to go from "P" to "A".

Hi.. I'm TriCare Prime Remote North. I was "pended" for my Psych consult. It was pended for about a week until I called and checked on it. They had someone call me 2 days later about it. The psych that my surgeon wants me to see wasn't in network but it was pended for TriCare Standard, which basically means $300 deduct and 50% of cost. Translation....I pay out of pocket for psych consult. It's $220 which I guess is average.
I would call and talk with someone at TriCare. They have been very helpful for me~
Do you mind me asking what Dr. your going through? I just went to my first appt today and am going to start getting my blood tests, etc. together this week. I'm also Tricare South.
I am tri care also ..Pending like they said is just it is being reviewed. I bet by tomorrow or the next day you will see a change ..
Hang in there it is so stressful .. Keep posting

My Dr. is Ferrara in Fort Worth, Texas. My file was submitted on Friday. So it was pretty quick that they even have something 'pended' in the system. I'm calling them 1st thing in the morning and will keep you guys posted!!
I just got off the phone with Tricare...and they stated that file is pending review. It will be up to 5 days before a decision is made. So keep your fingers crossed.
I had my nutrition meeting at the Dr's office yesterday. It was $75. I have my physch eval tomorrow - $150. I think I might wait on the Physch eval to see if I'm even approved because I don't want to give up $150 and get denied insurance coverage. I can't pay for the surgery out of pocket, so insurance is my only option.
