Crystal, it all depends on your doctor's office and insurance. I first send the paperwork into Weight for Life, the program that my dr uses, they in turn sent in the paperwork to my 2 ins. co., after I was approved I then was able to make the initial apts. with different doctors. After I made the apt with the surgeon and the pulmonary drs. WFL then sent me the paperwork for the pshyc evaluation. You just do not start out with the evaluation and then onto the other steps you have to get the insurance approval first.
