MMPI Test an FSA covered expense?

[healthyby50 0]

Hi Everyone,

I have to take the 3 hour pysch test, which I'm assuming is MMPI. I called my FSA customer service and they said it's a covered expense, but for some reason I'm doubting them.

Anyone else submit this expense for re-imbursement?

It's going to cost me $160 and it's not a health insurance covered expense.

Thanks!!

I haven't, but it should be covered by your FSA. It's an evaluation administered and reviewed by a medical professional. You could always call the FSA people again. You'd probably get a different person. I'd get names, etc...

If there is any question at all, you can get a letter of medical necessity from the doctors office and you are covered without issue. However, I really don't think you will have a problem with it.

I doubt very seriously that it's the MMPI. That would be a bit extreme. Mine and my daughters was basically just a pyschologist talking with you and asking questions. It's mainly to see that you have a healthy realistic mindset about what's going to happen and that you understand what you're getting into and not bulimic, etc. and that you've done your research and understand that the band is not the be-all end-all and is only a tool. MMPI is really a whole different thing.

Good luck

It is possible that it is the MMPI . . . others have had to take it.

It is like anything else with banding, all surgeons, pre-op requirements, post-op requirements, insurance requirements can vary greatly. The only true standard is lack thereof, lol.

Thanks Everyone...

Yes, it's the MMPI....states it on my list from the surgeon and it says it takes about 4 hours, then I meet with the pyschiatrist right after the test...wish I didn't have to take it..grrrrrr

Well, good luck with the MMPI...with my luck, they'd decide I was a multiple personality disorder or some other crazy stuff ... lol.

Four hours of answering questions will drive anyone crazy

Mine was the MMPI and yes I was able to use FSA to cover it. No problem. The test isn't that bad!
