Currently I have bcbsil ppo but I'm nervous about being approved... I'm so excited yet feeling discouraged at the same time

I had them and it took less than 2 weeks to get my approval. Good luck!

no sure what that is but I wish you all the best Good luck on your approval

Thanks guys...Ill definitely keep my fingers crossed!

I, too, have BCBSIL and I was going through this process last year. Last year, they had several requirements, which they dropped as of this year. It is much easier and I had no problem getting approved when I applied this year.

Well I definitely feel much better now . I have my first consultation on the 19th . Hopefully everything will work out

Hey! Bcbs il approved me in less than a week!! good luck!

That's great! I hope I get a fast reply like that...

I have BCBS of IL and I work for BCBS of IL. The criteria to be approved is much easier than it has been in the past. We are seeing a lot of people getting approved very quickly. GOOD LUCK!!

That's great Lori... now I'm getting excited all over again

I am also seeing many of my co-workers getting banded as well. Makes me proud that BCBSIL is making it easier for all of us!

I also have BCBS of IL and it took them less than a week to approve me! I have no comorbilities so I thought they would deny me but thank god I was approved.. Good luck!!

Congrats to you!!!!! If I may ask, which plan under BSBS IL do you have? I want to look into getting that plan.

Well I have the PPO plan. I know with *** there is more requirements and you need a referral from your doctor plus the 6 month diet plan

I have the anthem ppo by BCBS of Il and when the dr. Submitted they said they no longer required the six month nutritionist consult but that did require the phycological evaluation.
