Has anyone been approved by BCBS of Illinois since they changed their 3 month supervised diet plan to 6 months? If so, what was your experience? Thanks for the feedback.

I should be submitted this week - today or tomorrow. Apparently the insurance cooridinator for my program has a bunch - thinking it must be from the change of 3 to 6 months. So anxious!!

Good luck!

Do not complain about the 6 month supervised diet with BCBS of IL. Do you realize they only started approving the sleeve in October of 2010. Ask me when I got my surgery? Sept. 2010. Yeah, I self paid for the sleeve. No regrets, but ouch on the pocketbook.

I knew it was pretty recently! I know one lady who wanted the sleeve and found out like a week before having lapband that her insurance started covering sleeve! How lucky for her!

BCBSIL can help you with your confusion and find you suitable coverage for whatever stage you are at in your life.An independent licensee of the Blue Cross and Blue Shield Association serving the state of Illinois.bcbs of illinois is great.Blue Cross/Blue Shield of Illinois is structured as an independent regional provider of health insurance policies for the residents of Illinois. It is a private company, even though it is part of the Blue Cross/Blue Shield Association, one of the earliest managed health care insurance companies in the U.S. Blue Cross Blue Shield of Illinois was founded in 1936 and is a division of the Health Care Service Corporation (HCSC). All together, these companies offer some form of low cost health insurance coverage in all states of the union.
