    Aetna POS II

    Hi ...I'm not sure how much this will help but i also been going through this since feb. I have bcbs alabama they also require the 6month diet with pcp and 2 year weight proof. well needless to say i very seldom go to the doctor and when i do i'd beg not to weigh ,so i didn't have any medical records proving my weight/bmi My insurance just asked for pictures of myself for 2006 2007 2008 so maybe you can take that route...hope this helps you :thumbup:

    Hi Carmen ..i have bcbs alabama..all my paperwork was sent in and they required a 6 month diet with pcp. which was done the also need proof of weight history for yrs 2006 2007 2008....i dont have that because i never go to the dr and when i do i beg not to weigh ..lol so they said i can send pictures but once again i hide from the camera so my pictures are very limited do you think that will be a problem for me. also my bmi is somewhere in the 60's ...:thumbdown:....thanks
