Question:
Psyc Eval question?

Hi first let me say how wonderful all of yall "losers" are looking,and I cant wait to join you! I went to a seminar by Dr Duncan last night and I'm wondering if any of you have dealt with medcaid and do they pay for the psyc eval or the nutritionalist or is ot self pay? Thanks for all your help and good luck with your continued success. Thanks Angie Banks    — sxybrowneyes27 (posted on March 22, 2006)

Hey Angie, i am pre op. but i also had medicaid, before i had bcbs. medicaid wouldnt pay for anything, the psyche eval, the consultations, nothing. not even the surgery. i have heard a couple people say that they got approved for surgery through medicaid. I hope you do! When i had my psyche eval, it cost me about $200. But it was worth it, they gave the 'go ahead'. Well good luck to you, and keep us all posted! and email me if you have any quesitons, i am more than happy to help. Steph

Hey, thanks you all for posting your answers! I found out yesterday that medicaid will pay for a psyc eval thru a phsyciatrist MD but not a phscologist and I can use the nurtionist at my county health dept. Yeah !! So everything can be covered by medicaid. I will keep you all in prayers and best wishes.
