They only care about the outdated Schnur sliding scale that they use to determine whether or not they&amp;rsquo;ll cover it. I literally had a letter from my gynecologist and physical therapist to support my claim, along with my appeal letter, and they still denied me. They sent me back a letter that basically said &amp;ldquo;policy this and policy that.&amp;rdquo; It was a complete waste of paper on their end. I&amp;rsquo;m not even convinced real people review the doctors letters or appeal letters. It literally was like I took the time out to write that letter, my healthcare professionals took time to write those letters, and they didn&amp;rsquo;t even bother to read them. BCBSIL does not care about our health. They do the bare minimum.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div style="clear:both;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description></item><item><title>RE: Why are so many women denied of a Breast reduction?</title><link>https://connect.bcbsil.com/thread/402?ContentTypeID=1</link><pubDate>Tue, 24 Oct 2017 11:35:35 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">6e104328-2028-43b6-bb31-8401437dc51f:7e4a90ee-76d0-4870-9b13-8e7ca8d9d3d8</guid><dc:creator>Kimberly7</dc:creator><description>Were you able to appeal their decision?&lt;div style="clear:both;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description></item></channel></rss>
