I would recommend calling your surgeons office and get the names of docs that they work with...then call for insurance coverage

Unless you have a particular history that dictates a Psychiatrist, a Psychologist will be accepeted.

 

I suggest contacting Michael L. Sakowitz, Ph.D. is a psychologist (NJ 35SI00148700) and member of ObesityHelp's Mental Health Board

He may be far from you, but it’s worth the trip.

Please be sure to read my post regarding Kingley Institute in Piscataway.

I too have BCBS and was refered to this In-Network office, where i was told I needed to pay $525 upfront before I could see the nutritionist/psychologist, mind you my copay is $0. And after recieving my EOB, I am now charged with the task of collecting $250 back from this Institute.

Please be mindful, when asked to pay all this money up front.

When I spoke with the customer service at BCBS they were surprised I was asked to pay upfront at all. The responsiblity to collect what is due to me, falls on me entirely.
