I used an in-network psych. Only had co-payments. Call your insurance company. I live in s. Jersey and used someone who was approved through my insurance.

Would you mind telling me the name of your doc that you used ? I'm willing to travel I called 15 doctors in network and they all said the evaluation is a cost not covered by insurance what thieves trying to take advantage smh

Check for names with your program. My psych eval was not covered by my insurance, but my team referred me to a group where I paid $80 for my eval. Not horrible. But that was one of the few large costs I had for this and getting that approval was worth every cent.

The recommended doc that was recommended wants 250 I found a doc charging 150 for evaluation time to just suck it up and fork over a days pay lol
