My physc. evaulation partly was covered by my insurance company and I had an additional fee for the service.... It was quite easy....had to answer true/false questions and then the same questions were asked different ways....for example..one question asked this way....I believe in a higher power.... Then they asked your faith helps you get through things...not exact words but close to that....Just be honest and you will not have any problems passing!

If it is your insurance requiring the psych eval before they will review your case then they HAVE to pay for it. Many times people just assume that because it's the surgeon requiring it that it will not be covered. When I was trying for approval for my LBL my insurance insisted on an orthopedic evaluation and recommendation. Even if I did not end up getting approved they were responsible for the consult cost because they were requiring it. So double check with your insurance to find out what things they require to review you case. If they require the psych eval then have it billed directly to them and go from there.
