KristiW 1 Posted September 24, 2015 Has anyone ever had this insurance? Curious how long approval is and if there is 3 month period.. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Megdelyn 85 Posted September 24, 2015 From what I hear, there's a six month physician supervised weight loss period required. Which actually involves 7 monthly visits. Your surgeon's office should be very well informed on all the hoops bcbsal requires! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Champ715 207 Posted September 24, 2015 I have BCBS of AL and had to do a 6-month supervised diet. My surgeon's office submitted my paperwork online Monday and I was approved instantly. I'm not sure if all offices can do the electronic approval. The insurance company has 30 days to make a decision if the paperwork is submitted by mail or fax.
