Denied because of psych eval... why?

[twiggysmiff 0]

No, it is not a scare tactic. All psych evals have something called a lie scale. These are questions on there that are "duh" questions like true/false, I have NEVER told a lie. We've all told a lie before and if you answer true, you will score higher on the lie scale. If you score above a certain number (each test is different), you will invalidate the test. They will also ask the same question in several ways to see how consistent your answers are. If you are truthful, you will answer it consistently. It's always best to answer truthfully. If something comes out that makes you incompatible, then its better to find out now than after the surgery.

Keep trying....I "passed" my Psych eval and will be banded on the 16th of October...However, I was in class with a lady who failed it x3 and finally got a date...she got second opinions! Good Luck!

I still can't believe any of you had to take any written test. I basically just sat and gabbed with the lady and gave her $75.

One of my very good friends is a shrink. I know from support group that my surgeon has just become a center of excellence, and they have more people than they can handle. I asked his nurse at support group if they needed anyone to do psych evals and she said yes, that people have to wait to get into the person they have been using.

I gave her my friend's card and now he is going to start doing psych evals.

Now I can find out what they are looking for and what he has to tell them for people to get approved for surgery.
