I have blue care network and had to do the same thing. First with the insurance and then with my doctor. After showing them all this -had no problems. My doctor was a really big help with the insurance co, and wrote them and also told them that I would be healthy with less medical problems.

Yes, I also have bc/bs of MI and that is what I was told also. But since I had all that documentation, I had no trouble. Weight Watchers, going to your doctor for diet pills or a diet, anything on that line would work.

I don't have BCBS but my insurance company Principal required the same information. I believe it is a pretty typical request, they just want to make sure you have tried other weight loss methods first and that those methods failed you.
