Costly Nutritionist Fee!! BCBS-HMO

My PCP referred me to a nutritionist at Southern Regional in Riverdale for my assessment. However, when I made the appointment I was told that I would have to pay $270.00 for the class and assessment. I told her that I was being referred and should not have to pay that much. Have anyone else had to pay such an extravagant fee for this service? Just need to know if I should make an appointment with another nutritionist.

Mine is $360.00 Phyllis, and $335.00 for the psych consult... both out of pocket. It is ridiculous! Wish I had better news... Best Wishes and God's Blessing, Barb

$200 for me BCBS HMO. Tami

Phyllis, I paid $20.00 copay for my nutritionist appointment and I have BCBS HMO. My doctor's office referred me to the nutritionist. Can you call another nutritionist that bills BCBS HMO? Best wishes, Tammie G. loving WLS

Phyllis, I have BCBS HMO and I am using Dr. Hart. He has a dietician at his office who I have to pay $50 per visit. I have been to her one time, and have to go back in 3 weeks. I can't believe you are having to pay that much over the co-pay. I hope you can find someone else. Keep looking, there has to be someone cheaper than that. Good luck! Karen

HI, MY DR. IS DR. PROCTOR IN GAINSVILLE. THE ONLY MONEY I PAID FOR ANYTHING WAS $200.00 CO -PAY TO THE HOSPITAL. ALL OTHER THINGS I HAD TO DO WERE FIGURED IN HIS TOTALLED COST. MY BCBS/HMO/BLUECHOICE PAID EVERYTHING EXCEPT THE $200.00 COPAY FOR HOSPITAL. I WOULD CALL AROUND, MAYBE A DIFFERNT DR WOULD BE A GOOD CHOICE ? DR. PROCTOR INCLUDES EVERTHING (PSY,DIETIACIAN,ETC.)IN ONE PRICE, AND INSURANCE PAYS THAT WAY. I HOPE THIS HELPS, RUTHMICHEL
