I have Empire and they have covered everything related to my surgery including every visit to the nurtitionist and psych. All I paid was my co-pay. It depends largely on your individual plan. Your best bet is to call and find out what YOUR version of Empire covers. While you're on the phone with them, double check that you are covered for your surgery and what their requirements are. Some Empire palns have exclusions against bariatric surgery. You don't want to wait til you have a date to find out that you haven't done everything thast your policy wants.

May I ask what part of NY you are in?   

I'm due for my Nutritionist consult on 6/22 and wondered if the fees would be covered by Empire BC/BS (I know most insurance companies dont).  Was hoping to hear from someone who is insured by them.

While I'm at it, please let me know if they'll cover the costs for the psych eval too.  Trying to be prepared for my visits.

Thank you!
