Does $185 Sound About Right?



Recommended Posts

I live a bit north of you' date=' in southeast PA. The thought that there would be a separate charge to write out the report didn't even cross my mind!!![/quote']

I had two visits...the first one was 45 minutes...$50 copay...the second visit was 15 minutes...$50 copay...and I paid $50 for the report so $185 seems reasonable.

Yeah we do have an EAP. What can they do?

They can direct you a local professional. The best part of the benefit is that your employer pays for a portion of the visit(s). $25/session for 3-5 sessions is what my EAP offers.

i paid $265 out of pocket. I got a 3 hour evaulation though. Crazy that the prices are so different/insurance is so different.

I have to pay $500 for 3 sessions and a report. Anyone have someone they recommend in the Philadelphia area that may be cheaper?

My psych appointment was $150. She wasn't in my network so I had to pay out of pocket.

My out of pocket was over $1200. Was not expecting it to be that much. The psych clinic is in my medical clinic and ended up being out of network for my insurance. I was annoyed, but what do you do? One of those hoop, I guess!

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
