Hi...just wondering if anyone has BCBS of IL.? How were they with approval timing? How long did it take? Just wondering. Thanks for any input you can give.

Hi there, once the insurance coordinator got them a complete file (this took 3 weeks) I had my decision within a week.

GOOD LUCK!!!

Hey there!!!

I have BCBS of IL. My doc submitted my paperwork to them on Monday right after my appt and was told on Wed that they need five years of weight history. I'm a little upset because I went through all of the testings and I don't have a lot of weight history as my husband was military and I wasn't seen regularly. And when I did go to my prime dr they didn't record my weight so idk if they will deny it. :-(

But if it only took them two days for a response for me, I'd imagine they are quick!

Best of luck to you!!!

I have them, it took 5 business days but I called them every single day, sometimes twice! I did not need the 5 year weight history. My docs office did not submit one form so that slowed me down a bit but once they got it in it was approved 2 days later, when you call they tell you it will take 30 days- i think that is their standard statement but I think 1-2 weka is normal. Call!!
