I think its a few hundred dollars if your insurance doesnt cover it. Most insurances do cover it, i had no problem. Good luck

My insurance covers it BUT there are no psychologists or counselors here that take my insurance SO If I use a counselor its $150. It's $350 to use the psychologist. My insurance will reimburse me but only at like 70%.

will your insurance cover it if you get a referral from your primary doc? They can say it's for stress, anxiety, depression etc ( and who dosn't have a little stress???)

My insurance covered the psych eval even if the surgery was ultimately denied. The insurance company required the eval to be done by a psychiatrist and supplied me with several names to chose from. I believe the cost was around $600 for the test, the evaluation, and the visit to go over the results.

it can be different with each doctor. one quoted me $350, but ended up actually finding a psych dr that worked with my insurance.

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.
