I'm curious if anyone recently got surgery with the insurance Blue Cross Blue Shield of Illinois? I'm aware a couple of years ago they required a six month medical assisted diet. But, now they no longer require the diet. What do you'll think about this? Does anyone have BCBSIL, how did the process go for you?

BCBS IL P. P. O. Doesn't require a 6 month diet.

BCBS IL H. M. O. Does requires a 3 month monitored diet.

There are different requirements depending on the network.

Additionally, if your BCBS IL P.P.O. is employer covered it is possible that your employer had elected to NOT cover bariatric surgery so please do your homework.

I have done my homework, however, it's always more to learn which is why I asked her the question and posted this topic in the first place. And I already know the employer doesn't have to cover bariatric surgery ... so Please don't be rude we are all up here to learn and help others. I don't need anyone telling me what I need to do homework in. Maybe you should read more carefully, and go back and read other post before making these type comments. Thanks in advance!

Seriously? Rude? Yikes... That is a first for sure. Employers don't have to cover Bariatric surgery but it sounds like you've got it under control. Good luck in your journey.

Excuse me, when you tell someone they need to do their homework.. it comes across rude. Again, I already know the employer doesn't have to cover bariatric surgery. That is what I meant to type that was a typo and I changed it. I had a job where the insurance covered it but my employer did not. If you weren't trying to be rude.. I apologize. I really appreciate the help, but not people telling anyone what they need to do. And, good luck in your journey!

This has been a conversation that one of those snickers commercials could be made off of.

Not trying to agitate you more but wowza. There was never a rude intention behind it, but I did get a giggle from your reply. Feelings behind typed words can be difficult to decipher. No worries.

Lol.. at wowza. I appreciate your help, and thanks!

Does anyone have any experience getting an appeal through Bluecross of Idaho? My plan does not cover the sleeve so I am just curious if anyone had experience with them?
