blankmama 16 Posted June 7, 2012 I'm paying to see the psychologist out of pocket it's only 189.00 so I can swing that. Chech and see what the out of pocket cost is...then you can move forward. Make sure that you check how much it'll cost. Luckily my insurance covered mine with just a copayment of $25.00, the psychologist I went to charges $500 for the psych evaluation.

Ellie_Grace 271 Posted July 12, 2012 normally psychiatrists do not do psych evals as their expetise is medicine perscriptions. Normally you will see either a psychologist or a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) (I'm a clinical social worker working on getting my license) Just check to make sure your insurance accepts whomever you end up choosing.
