Where can I find BCBS/IL requirements on covering bariatric surgery? A link to a website would be helpful?

you might want to try your state's forum...there might be more people in there that might have a web address for you.

best of luck!

I hope you recieved the new changes as of 7/1/2009 for BCBSIL

Its great news! 3 months instead of 6 month diet...and no longer a 5 year history
