Guest guest Posted February 20, 2002 Report Share Posted February 20, 2002 Hi, I had the psycological evaluation because my insurance required it. BC/BS PPO. It was no big deal. And it isnt really a test, just a questionire. Ex. Did you get along with your father when you were young. Stuff like that. I thought it keep asking the same questions over, only in different wording. Then I talk to the psycologist afterward. That was mostly the same thing. How you get along with you family members. They want to make sure you have a realistic view of loosing weight. It wasnt hard. > Hi Everyone. > I have an appt. for the psycological evaluation coming up.

Guest guest Posted February 20, 2002 Report Share Posted February 20, 2002 GALS--I think it's just the MMPI (Minnesota Multiphasic Personality Inventory). It's a standard psychological personality measure. It's made up of questions that compare 2 things ('Would you rather read a book or go to a party?' type questions.) It's not hard--and there's no 'correct' answer--just tell the truth the best you can!

Hi Everyone. I have an appt. for the psycological evaluation coming up. My insurance co. says I have to have one before they will pay for the RNY procedure. I'm told this evaluation involves taking a written test! Iv'e never heard of this before. Have any of you all had to have this done? And if so, what does the test involve? I'd love to hear from anyone regarding this subject. Thanks! Robin in NC waiting for insurance approval Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted February 20, 2002 Report Share Posted February 20, 2002 I think the last time I took it - they asked the same things like four different ways - lol - its ok - there is no right or wrong answers nor can you pass or fail... Good luck - Deb " And those who danced were thought insane by those who refused to hear the music... " Re: I have a question....
