Help pleases???????????

I got paperwork for CORI, I need to know how to get a Psychological Evaluation? if there away one that take medical card? ruth

Hi Ruth, Anita will give you Dr Moran's number for the psych evaluation. He doesn't take the medical card but he charges half price - $125 when you tell him you're going through the cori center. Hope that helps. Renee

So he'll charge you half of $125. so like $65 dollars

No, the $125 is the half price. It's normally $250.

What I found out is that the medical card will not cover any psycholoigist, but it will cover 100% if you go to a psychiatrist. What I did is go to the main page of this site and go to find a profesional looked up IL pychaitrist and called a couple found one you took the medical card and had them do the eval. I don't remember which dr I saw and I can't find his #. I think his office was out of Shaumburg though, I went and saw him talked with him he typed out a letter while I was there and I faxed the letter to my dr. Good Luck Laura

Ruth, I just had my psych eval last week with Doctor XU. It took about 5 minutes and he said your fine and called my surgeon and said shes approved what do you need from me...lol very painless and he takes the medical card...He is in Bourbonnaise, Illinois and is at the Behavioral health center. Just go into yahoo and search for him under his name...Any more??? Just ask...Good Luck...Tammy
