Hey everyone is there anyway to get this covered by insurance everywhere I call is saying between 150-350 doesn't make sense when they take my insurance and are in network any feed back of what I can do ? In the NORTHERN NJ AREA / Would travel to NY

Would you mind telling me the name of your doc that you used ? I'm willing to travel I called 15 doctors in network and they all said the evaluation is a cost not covered by insurance what thieves trying to take advantage smh

Her name is Karen Jordan. She is a bariatric certified psychologist. The name of her program is B.E.A.T. She requires 2 visits for her evaluations. She's very nice.

Also just a thought but most insurance companies have a care coordinator of some sort. Call them and ask to speak with that person. Does your insurance cover "mental health" at all? If your insurance requires a psych eval then they should have some e they can send you too. Keep trying.

You should receive an email from them with your copay amount. It doesn't take them long to run your insurance. They say they're in network for most plans. I was freaking out because I hadn't received an invoice when my appointment was scheduled. But they had already told me my copay was $40. Just so happens I got the invoice while I was waiting for the phone to ring, I got the invoice and paid via PayPal. Worked out great!

I actually just paid and now I'm super excited as this is all I needed for surgery
