Recommended Posts

Have any one done the online or over the phone. Psychological evaluation ? Did any one have any problems with there insurance not accepting it because it wasn't in person ? Or have any other issues ?

I had my psych eval completed through a company online. I submitted my insurance to them and they emailed me my out of pocket cost, which was $90. Once I filled out their questionnaire then I scheduled my 1 hr phone interview. They called me promptly and spent about 1 hr of less talking to me.

I found her very helpful and felt very satisfied. She worked for herself at home and contracted through the company for extra hours.

They contact the insurance company then email an invoice. Once you decide to do the online pschy eval then you pay. You aren't obligated. No loss of money.

My NC state bc/bs paid all but 90 of it.

Hi Bill... I did my psych evaluation over the phone with Bariatric Psych Eval. com. I have Cigna insurance and they paid for it without a problem but I still had co pay to pay to company . But yes they covered it.

Have any one done the online or over the phone. Psychological evaluation ? Did any one have any problems with there insurance not accepting it because it wasn't in person ? Or have any other issues ?

      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.
