TriWest is great, but they don't have a sense of urgency when it comes to authorizing CT Scans. It could take until Monday to get set up for a same day or next day appointment. Maybe Tuesday. Meanwhile, my urine is getting bloodier and bloodier, and my right and left sides seem to have created a sport out of which side is trying to hurt me more. Wah, right? I know...sorry.

I'm thinking about looking into supplemental insurance - something light that covers all of Tricare's gaps. Something tells me having two insurers will create more of a headache in the end. Like each company fighting over who won't pay for what. Anyone know of a good company to go with? I need a company where the billing lady just has to look at the company's name to know CT scans and other tests don't need an authorization letter. Like, blanket coverage.

P.S. OUCH!!!!
