YES, IF YOU ARE ON MEDICAID AND GO THOUGHT OCHSNER U HAVE TO DO THE 6MONS WITH THEIR DIETITIAN. I AM ON MY 2ND VISIT NOW. BUT THAT TIME FLY BY SO GIVE IT A TRY.

Does anyone kno anyone closer to north louisiana that does the Psych evaluation on medicaid or for less than 200 $...i found a lady in New Orleans but I rather check my options closer to home before making that 5 hour drive

Let me tell you , you will see him he will talk with you to see why you want it ..explain the procedure , then you will go see the nutritionist up the street from him there they will charge you 45.00 up front ..and thats it you will meet up with the same people after surgery

I believe so, i had Medicaid and Medicare as a secondary.

I might be wrong in your situation, but I think had the same thing the 6 month thing is due to your insurance it's actually 6 classes you need to attend for you insurance to consider it I went ever other week and paid cash for the classes they were $55 a class I would ask your dietitian about this mine encouraged us to do this to speed up the process.
