Intracept Procedure & SIJ Injection
Insurance Approval Requirements for CBT Sessions and/or Psychological Evaluation
You have been referred by your pain doctor for Cognitive Behavioral Therapy sessions as a pre-requisite to be approved for the Intracept Procedure or Sacroiliac Joint Injection (SIJ Injection). You may also need a psychological evaluation in addition to the sessions depending on your physician’s preference. Please be sure to check with your doctor’s office on this requirement.
Your insurance requires three CBT sessions. Please make sure to go through the entire registration process which may take about five to ten minutes.
Here are some areas of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy that your therapist will help you navigate and understand during your Cognitive Behavioral Therapy sessions:
- Psychoeducation
- Exercise
- Activity Based Pacing
- Pleasant Activity Scheduling
- Stress Management
- Relaxation
- Cognitive Restructuring
- Anger Management
- Insomnia Intervention
With our program, many patients have seen great improvements on mobility, rest, stress levels, and overall wellness. This is possible for you, too.

Here's what doctors and our patients have to say:
Advantage Point Behavioral has been a trusted partner for my bariatric patients both before and after surgery for many years. In addition to pre-operative bariatric psych evaluations, they provide ongoing counseling services to our patients that are incredibly effective, useful, and convenient. They offer top notch care, and I am thrilled with this long term partnership. If your patients need additional help, they will find success with this team!
I started counseling with Advantage Point Behavioral after having bariatric surgery. I wanted to make sure I had a solid base for learning to keep the weight off. I have a great counselor who is a very athletic person and is even helpful in giving me ideas for workouts.
Counseling has been such a wonderful aid in the process with the surgery and my process. I have lost 90 pounds in 9 months, and I know that attending counseling was a huge step in my success.
I highly recommend Advantage Point Behavioral to many of my weight loss friends. The hours and telehealth appointments are so nice and convenient. Always invest some time in yourself, you are worth it.
