Can you FAIL your Psyche Eval?

I think I just did!

 

In a nutshell, the question was "How often do you eat to the point where you are uncomfortable?"

 

Answer: Just about always!

 

Response: Hmmmm....that sounds like a diagnosis of Binge Eating Disorder. I don't know what the insurance company will say about this.

 

WAHHHHH....So I came home, jumped online and researched the definition of BED. I don't have most of the symptoms.

 

So now I sit on pins and needles until I get authorization from the insurance company I guess.

 

Ugh.

you should be okay, it takes more than that generally for insurance to shoot you down. the psych eval is just a letter that gets submitted with a whole pile of other documents stating why you should have the surgery! I have my fingers crossed for you!
