I also have federal bcbs and have heard different info regarding the waiting period. What is the waiting period, not seeing one in the book?? I have basic coverage. I went into the seminar today and they just had us write down our weight, height and bmi. Said they would call in a week or so and let us know if our insurance would cover it. Was shocked they didn't weigh us. I am wondering once they call and say if approved what the next step is. Have heard there is a 3 month, 6 month and no wait. Hoping to hear I am approved, not sure where to turn next if not. :tongue2: Love reading all of the insights and information on this site~ so informative!
