bcbs il process?

[OldskoolHeart 6]

Also, the letter of medical necessity doesn't really state much other than diets you may have tried, your bmi, your age, and what the doctor thinks will help with your obesity, which is the surgery, doesn't state much and also your co-morbidities. Sorry I kept forgetting stuff. I work for BCBS-IL and also some other states so if you need help let me know

Oldskoolheart, I have BCBS of IL. They turned down my first request because the surgeon's office didn't tell me I needed two co-morbidities that weren't reponding to treatment (my BMI is 37). I am in the process of trying to get that documented. Any advice? How much proof is enough? For instance, I have mild apnea, and am having a lot of trouble tolerating the CPAP, is that enough? Thanks so much.
