nutritionists and therapist

I have a few question on nutritionists and therapist. I know some may have differnt answers but any info would be good. I haven't set an appointment to see my sergion yet because it states right on his website that I shouldn't even call until I have completed five steps he has listed.

1. making sure you meet the criteria (check)

2. call ins co. to check coverage (check)

3. make sure sergion uses my ins or be willing to pay out of pocket (check)

4. dieticaian and psychologist (not check)

5. fill out all forms and organize (working on)

so you see the only thing I haven't really wrapped my brain around is the nutritionists and therapist. Is the therapist the one that has you fill out the questioners and do you just go to the nutritionist to chat so she knows that you understand the way you should be eatting and that is just a tool on your weight lost. Because the nutritionts charges $125 I can do that Once but I don't think I can afford that for the next 6 months. Same with the therapy. Can anyone tell their experience. I have Cigna if that helps.

Thank you all

Thanks Jack, that is what I was hoping. My insurance cover alot of things but nutritionists is not one of them. So did you have to keep up with the dietician or just until they felt like you understood what you were doing?

My insurance didn't cover either. Both charged a $250.00 cash payment for the consult!!!!!:confused:

It was a one shot deal with both. I'd like to continue to see that therapist actually. She charges $100 per 1 hour session - I can't afford that right now. I have to pay for fills out of pocket.
