Are you considering applying to BCBSIL?

If you are considering on applying for health insurance coverage with Blue Cross and Blue Shield of Illinois (BCBSIL), this is what you need to know...

1. BCBSIL has a 12 month waiting period for pre-existing medical conditions; which are conditions that were consulted, diagnosed or treated (current prescriptions other than contraceptives) within the 12 months prior to application  the waiting period will be waived if you have had 12 months of credible coverage with any Blue Cross and Blue Shield carrier, without a gap in coverage greater than 63 days
2. BCBSIL is the strictest when it comes to placing condition specific exclusion riders
3. If you are currently seeking therapy/counseling you will not be offered coverage
4. Maternity coverage is a optional benefit at additional monthly premium that has a 12 month waiting period before maternity benefits are covered
5. The earliest effective date is 14 days from the time application is received or at your request past the 14 day period
6. BCBSIL will debit your initial monthly premium prior to approval to receive a refund if coverage is declined
