BCBS-IL

Well, I know I have seen this question before but I am not able to find it.  BCBS-IL requires 5 years of medical history, what if you don't have any?  I have not been to a doctore since 2000, so there is no information.  How do you get around this hurdle? Thank you

I turned in a copy of a medical record sheet that showed my weight in 2000.  That was the only thing I turned in and they accepted it.  They don't want you to have records necessarity within the last 5 years.  They just want proof that you have been morbidly obese for a least 5 years from now.  The records from your dr visit in 2000 should be all they need.  They approved mine within 2 days after they had all of the information.

did you have to do a supervised diet?

i don't have all my records either. i have 2003-2006-2007.i have seen some say that they din't have it and were denied. I have seen some say they didn't have all and were approved like the other lady just posted.I'm submitting next month. I'm to the point were i'm justing going to do it and see what happens.I have posted this before and some replied that they had a peer to peer reveiw and that turned the denial.i also wonder if having co-mobids help? when will u submit?keep me posted.

I was told by my surgeon that if I was missing a year of weights that I should go back further into my record to prove obesity.  If you were obese during 1995-2000, I would include those weights as well as the weights you collect while you are doing to pre-op requirements during 2007. Did you go anywhere else where they took your weight?  Fitness club?  Weigh****chers?
