BCBSIL approval!!!
After my doctor's office submitted an appeal to BCBSIL in less than a week I got approved!! So happy.
Just an FYI, my doctor wrote up 3 months diet from 2007 when I first started and stopped the process and then I did another 3 months this year and he submitted. Although I have heard people say that the 6 month has to be consecutive it's not true. Their policy says 6 month diet in a 24 month period. If you can do consecutive that's great but if you have some sort of backdated documentation of a diet I would push for doctor to see if they can use.
I can't wait to get my surgery date!
