Does anyone know how the long approval process of bcbs il with a ppo is? Is there extra criteria?

APPROVED!!!! Called insurance company yesterday and they informed me I was approved!!!! So excited!!! Hope everyone else is getting good news????????????

Oldskoolheart, I have BCBS of IL. They turned down my first request because the surgeon's office didn't tell me I needed two co-morbidities that weren't reponding to treatment (my BMI is 37). I am in the process of trying to get that documented. Any advice? How much proof is enough? For instance, I have mild apnea, and am having a lot of trouble tolerating the CPAP, is that enough? Thanks so much.
