I got approved thru BCBS of Illinois!!!:smile2::thumbup:

No denials! No appeals! Yes! WooHoo!

I am so doing a happy dance !

Congratulations!!!! That is VERY exciting!

Since I have BCBSIL I have some questions:

Did you do the 6 month weightloss with your PCP?

How long was your 6 months....6 visits or 6 FULL months?

I have my last visit with my PCP next Tuesday and then I am hoping for a QUICK approval too!!! Congrats again!

I had 6 visits over a 6 month period back in 2006 that we just happened to discuss my weight. My pcp used that information for my weightloss visits since I did actually lose weight during that time and we did actually discuss my weight. It wasn't exactly a month between each visit, just 1 visit somewhere during the month.

I hope that you get a quick appoval too!:biggrin2:
