Hey all.. got another question. I was seen by psychology last Tuesday and have not heard back yet on if I was cleared or not. This is the last requirement I'm waiting on before submitting to insurance. So today was a week and a day since my eval. How long did it take for you guys to hear back from psych? Should I call the office to check on the status? I don't want to call and sound pushy, but I was really hoping they would submit to insurance this week.

It never hurts to call and politely advocate for yourself. I found that I needed to make a number of pleasant but firm calls at various points in my consult and insurance process. Sometimes things accidentally end up in a pile on a desk too [emoji6].

The psychologist faxed the report to my surgeon's office within a week, if I remember correctly. I never actually saw the report, but they told me that they received it at my next diet visit after my appointment with the psychologist.

I never received any official word. At the end of my appointment she said I was good for surgery, and she probably provided something to my surgeon (the psychologist and nutritionist I saw work out of my surgeon's office, so my bariatric coordinator stays in close contact with them both). Wouldn't hurt to call though.

Report was faxed to my surgeon within 2 business days.

I have Kaiser Insurance and it was a breeze the psychologist is looking to make sure you are not suicidal and you do not have any major issues I found out pretty much that day that I was fine with my Psych Evaluation.

Mine told me at the end of my appointment that she would sign off on my surgery and would send her report to my surgeon's office that same day.

Same with me. He told me at the end of my appointment that I was cleared and that he would send my clearance over to my surgeon that night
