I am at the beginning of my journey and my insurance requires a pre-surgical psychological evaluation. I am going through the program at Celebration Health and they have a psychologist that they recommend, but she doesn't take my insurance (Florida Blue - BCBS) and it will cost $360. I am allowed to find another that my insurance will cover, but I'm having trouble. Anyone in the area know of a good one? They must be a psychologist - this was emphasized. Any leads are greatly appreciated. Thanks!

I have BCBS Anthem, and I actually did my evaluation over the phone. It was through BariatricPsychEvaluations.com

You can check with your provider to see if they are within your network and what the coverage would be. If you do it over the phone or in person, I believe the questions are relatively the same.

That's awesome. Thanks for the tip!

I used that same website, it was literally 10 minutes long and so easy and cost me just a $30 copay.

Wish I had known that before I paid $250.

Awesome! Thank you! I will look into it. I just hope my program will accept it.

Wow, the price must have gone up. It cost me $500 to see the psychologist a Celebration. She was worth it, though.
