insurance

so i have done every thing i was sub to do exsept i cant find a psyc to do the evaluation that takes my stubid insurance so i was wondering if any 1 else has SAGA insurance and had the psyc done???? i have called the 1s the dr gave me and they dont take it then i called the one that i knew of and they dont do it. so im lost i was told to call my insurance for the name and # to ALL the psyc dr and call them ALL up and ask if they do it now im ok about doing that i will do anything right now but just thought i would ask my OH friends if they knew of any. well thank u for reading me Marie

hi marie, i don't have saga, but when i had seen mine she said they don't deal with insurance and i  would have to pay out of pocket.witch was 150.00 or 175.00 and submit the bill myself . and the same with the nutrition. but u should call the # and ask them. good luck, hope to see ya on the loser bench soon teresa

I saw Cynthia Worth in Glastonbury but I don't know if she takes that insurance. I do know she does the eval since I passed. hehehe I fooled her.  

The state should be able to provide you with a list of psych's.  It doesn't have to be a psychiatrist....can be a therapist, etc.  I had the same prob as you - I have Anthem insurance.  I had to get a provider manual and spend hours calling people leaving messages to see if they did WLS evaluations....I finally found one in Enfield - McIntyre Consulting and they were awesome.  Good luck!  It's a lot of foot work but well worth it.

I was told right from the start that insurance would not cover a psych evaluation for the surgery--I had to pay $300 out of pocket...best investiment I have ever made!  because it allowed me to get the surgery...the evaluation itself was pretty stupid!  they asked all these questions--like how did I feel when my mother died...I made the mistake of saying "sad" she then asked me another 50 or so questions on my "depression" over my mothers death...it was pretty dumb...when I got the evaulation, it said I had situational depression....who is not sad when their mommy dies???  anyway, I passed... good luck Jennifer

Pardon the language but how the hell are you supposed to feel? Happy? Oh joy, Mom just died, lets have a party to celebrate! ***hopes everyone can see the sarcasm dripping and doesn't get offended by lack of feelings***

hey ty all for ur help im on the phone right now with the insurance. let u all know how this 1 gos lol

I went out of my way to go here as I was told she would work it out with my insurance, Healthnet. However she billed it, I just paid my regular co-pay of $10.
