A New New Dawn 1,695 Posted September 16, 2012 I, too, have BCBSIL and I was going through this process last year. Last year, they had several requirements, which they dropped as of this year. It is much easier and I had no problem getting approved when I applied this year. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Lori Voss Green 93 Posted September 22, 2012 I have BCBS of IL and I work for BCBS of IL. The criteria to be approved is much easier than it has been in the past. We are seeing a lot of people getting approved very quickly. GOOD LUCK!! 1 Msluv83 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Msluv83 53 Posted September 22, 2012 Well I have the PPO plan. I know with *** there is more requirements and you need a referral from your doctor plus the 6 month diet plan Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
tere1985 16 Posted September 23, 2012 I have the anthem ppo by BCBS of Il and when the dr. Submitted they said they no longer required the six month nutritionist consult but that did require the phycological evaluation.
