Rejected

Dear Ms. Bodine:

Thank you for your application for coverage with Blue Cross and Blue Shield of Illinois. Upon careful review, we determined you are not eligible for coverage.

Our decision was based on our current underwriting guidelines and your medical history.

We appreciate and value your interest in Blue Cross and Blue Shield of Illinois. We respectfully regret a more favorable decision is not available.
