I have BCBS of IL too, I live in Alabama. You didn't have to do the 6month waiting period? I am new to this, I go to my free seminar on 7-14-12, so I'm just trying to find out as much as I can.

Hi Mandy,

The 6month waiting period was lifted back In February.

I did however, have some requirements by bcbs il. Number one was:

-BMI has to be certain #

-blood and EKG

-2 nutritionist counseling sessions

-phyc evaluation

-call the disability outreach program (though I dont know what the heck for. They were of no assistance to me. I didn't wanna file disability lol)

BCBS IL was FAST at approving me! It took them 3days for a decision. It will be different for all of us but I just want to give u as much Insight on my experience with them a possible. I remember I was very curious a well!

Feel free to PM me if u have any questions at all, I'm more than happy to help!!
