A >> Hi Connie, I originally sent my letter in to BC/BS in September. It took about 3 weeks to hear from them. They sent a letter to Dr. Rutledge with a cc to me saying that they needed a physical done and record of my weight for the past 2 years. I had my physical done the first of November and my PCP faxed the info them. They kept saying they hadn't received it. So after 2 more trys of faxing from my PCP, I decided to get a copy of the physical myself and fax it myself. I then followed up by calling them to be sure they received it. This time it worked. They then told me I needed to send in 2 years of weights. I didn't have a record of 2 years of weights because I had only been seeing my family physician for 1 1/2 years. I sent this info to them (calling to be sure they received it). I was sure they wouldn't approve me because they were a stickler for the 2 years rule, but they did. It took two weeks to get the approval after having all of the info to them. I hope this helps you out. Where are you in in Alabama? I'm in Saraland just outside of Mobile.
