anyone there

Hi everybody, I am needing some support and help. I am on the road to having surgery hopefully sometime the last of March or first of April. I am having a terrible time finding someone to do a psych eval. The practice that the surgeons office gave me can't do it until the end of March. Not good when that will be the final piece I need before everything goes to the insurance company. Can anyone help me find someone that knows how to do these and accept Cigna insurance? Thanks bunches, Angie

Angie, I don't know where you reside but I had a Psych evaluation here in Greenville. I also have Cogna insurance. Diane

hi, i had my psych done in waynesville,nc. she charged me 200.00 and my doctor said it was fine. i have one problem.... can't remember her name... i had my surgery on july 12th 05 and it was the best thing i ever done for me and my kids. i was 417lb and a single dad of 3 boys. i knew if i had not had my surgery when i did, i would be dead now. please ask your doctor to look her up in waynesville and i am sure they can.. mine did for me. janice joy i think is her name. she had the surgery also. hope this helped some? have a great day and if i can help? please ask,ok.

I am also a patient of Dr. Pirello's. I had my Psych eval at NorthEast Psych on Tuesday of this week. I had mine with Dr. Quinn. Was nice and quick. He understood I just needed this to move forward with my surgery as part of the insurance requirement. He does a lot of these evals for Dr. Bauman and Pirello. I had my appointment on Tuesday and he has already forwarded his information over to Dr. Pirello. I am all done with testing... Now I am waiting for this to be submitted to insurance. Wish me luck!!! I am hoping for a date in February! Good luck to you as well.

Thanks Shelby. I got an appointment with Northeast Psych Clinic Feb. 21, so I am excited to have the hopes of getting everything done by the end of February and hopefully have surgery the end of March or first of April. I hope you get your date. Best of luck. Angie
