Does anyone know if there is a specific form a mental health provider needs to fill out for the assessment/requirement? My insurance requires one for the last 6 months stating I'm cleared for the proceedure.

Hi Kdm. I know there is paperwork that has to be sent in, but I honestly don't know the name of it (I have thrown mine away because it was months ago). Basically it was a form asking when I was seen and the reason for the visit which they had to put all the fun insurance codes on. The therapist I saw worked directly with my surgeon. So I would check with your surgeon and they should know the specifics on what is required for insurance purposes and hopefully be able to help you out. Good luck!
 
The psychologist that I saw also worked with my surgeon directly. Have you called your surgeon's office? They will likely know what you'll need.
