6 month weigh ins for insurance approval bc/bs of AL

Hi guys and gals,

I'm a newbie and went to my first seminar 2 weeks ago.

I was told I have to do the 6 month dr supervised diet/weigh in for bc/bs of AL.

How long after your last weigh in does it take to get the approval letter?

Thanks to all who respond!

I have BCBS of PA. I did the 6 month supervised diet and once my paperwork was submitted, I was approved within 2 work days.

I just had my 3rd of the 6 visits to my doctor. I hope my approval is just as fast. I have BC/BS of Alabama

wow that was fast!

I'm in Al but my BC/BS is out of NJ. I did the 6 month diet thing, then saw a nutritionist, then a psychogist who said I had issues and needed to spend more money on him. When I said no the letter he sent to the insurance company made them deny me. I then went to a psychatrist who said there was nothing wrong with me. She sent a new letter and a month later I'm scheduling my surgery day. I have been chasing this for about three years. I wanted to be absolutley sure I wanted this. May 31 is comining!
