I'm going to be submitting for approval to BCBS of Illinois in the next 2 weeks.I'm wondering if your medically-supervised diet was 3 visits (each a month apart) or 3 months total? I'm worried because even though I will have done 3 visits, one month apart, I will have submitted to insurance after only 2 months (i.e. I went for my first visit on January 6th, the second visit on February 11th and the third visit will be on March 10th - but January to March is only 2 months). 

Do you think I have a shot of getting approved?  I'm worried because BCBS of IL will be changing their requirements from a 3 month diet to a 6 months diet on March 15, 2011 - and I will be submitting to insurance on March 10th (talk about cutting it close!!!)

No, I haven't gotten a response back yet.  My doctor is submitting to insurance tomorrow so I should know soon.  I'll keep you posted.
