Does anyone with BCBS of Michigan know if they will accept Weigh****cher records for 6 months of non-surgical structured weight loss program requirement for insurance approval?

I just talked to BCBS today and asked very specific questions about the 6 month diet.  I was told that as long as you can PROVE that you were on some sort of structured program, it would be accepted.  I asked if it had to be a program such as WW or jenny craig, curves, etc. and she said it could be any of those or just records from my PCP with my weight and at some point we had talked about dieting/eating habits during each appt.  

As a disclaimer, though, I would say to call to find out for sure about YOUR policy.  This is mine and seems to be quite a bit different from most I've seen.

I got my answer finally on Tueday-I AM APPROVED!  YAY!  They did take my WW records.  I am excited.  Waiting for a call back from the Pre-Op nurse to schedule next step and a date for surgery!  Merry Christmas!
