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.

      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.
