I am new here and am stressing something and was hoping for some input. I didn't really see a specific place for it, so I hope this is the right place.

I had to have a psych eval done for non mental health reasons. The verbal portion went great and I was whisked off to a room to take two written tests. One was the MMPI and the other was the PPI, I believe. One was very long and the other was not.

Anyway, the results were suppose to be done in a week. It took three weeks with me getting the run around every time I called. Finally, the information went through, but my doctor's office that needed the eval had to get clarification on something or else insurance wasn't going to approve me. Well, they did whatever and it went through. However, I was told that I am required to have 6 months of therapy, but no one could tell me why.

The place I went was awful. I was not impressed with the lack of privacy or with the way people were treated, so I asked for my records so I could find a place I felt comfortable with. No one would tell me why I needed therapy, so it is hard to call and say I need therapy but I don't know why, right? They told me to come fill out a paper and pay a fee and I could get my records. I go in and the supervisor is out, so I was told to just fill out the paper and they'd call be back when she's back in the office. Weeks passed... nothing. I blew it off. No big deal really. I'm doing fine. I need the records to know why I am calling to get an appointment in town, so really it is just a matter of when/if they get back to me.

Today out of the blue they call and say I have to meet with the supervisor to discuss my evaluation. I asked why I need to talk to her to get a copy of my records and the lady was just like this is what I was told. I then asked if it was going to cost me more money and she said no, it is free. So I said that I only needed the money to get the records then and the lady said yes, IF SHE GIVES THEM TO YOU. What?

So my question is what would be in the written evaluation that would warrant 6 months of therapy and a mandatory meeting with the supervisor of the clinic and no copy of my evaluation released to me? Is this typical after an evaluation? I've never had one before. Also, what would cause you to "fail" an evaluation but not due to it being inconclusive? I'm just really worried about what the meeting will be about. She is suppose to be telling me what is in my evaluation, but I have a feeling she is going to be asking me a bunch of questions instead. Plus, what is so bad that they don't want me to know? After all, this is MY evaluation.
