Evaluation Options
What to Expect
Each evaluation is tailored to your child's needs. Here's an overview of services and associated costs.
Comprehensive Neuropsychological Evaluation
2 testing Sessions
$3,000
A comprehensive evaluation provides a clear understanding of strengths, challenges, and diagnostic clarification when appropriate.
It's not just about answering whether a diagnosis fits — it's about understanding the individual's unique learning and social-emotional profile. Because each person has different needs, the evaluation is personalized and may include areas such as cognitive abilities, academics, memory, attention, executive functioning, adaptive functioning, social communication, and emotional/behavioral functioning.
Supplemental Testing Evaluation
1 testing session
$2,120
A 1-session evaluation may be appropriate if recent psychological or neuropsychological testing has already been completed and additional clarification is needed.
This is often the case when testing was completed through a school or another provider within the past 1.5 years. I can review prior records and help determine whether a shorter evaluation is appropriate. In some cases, a comprehensive evaluation may still be recommended.
Cognitive / Gifted Evaluation
Intake, Testing, Feedback & Report
$800
This evaluation is designed to better understand a child's cognitive abilities, particularly when there are questions about giftedness. It may also be used for admission to specialized educational programs.
The process includes a brief intake, testing, and feedback within a single session. You will receive a written report summarizing the results. If additional academic testing is needed beyond the standard session, extra time can be scheduled.
Follow-Up & Extended Feedback
1 hour
$220
After the evaluation and feedback are completed, I am available to answer brief questions via email or a short phone call (up to 15 minutes) at no additional cost.
I also offer 1-hour follow-up appointments to review results in more detail, problem-solve implementation strategies, or answer additional questions.
Independent Educational Evaluations (IEE)
hourly
IEEs are billed at an hourly rate. The first step is to schedule a complimentary phone consultation to determine whether this is the right fit.
Payment & Insurance
I am an out-of-network provider, which means I do not accept or bill insurance directly. Payment is the responsibility of the client.
Accepted forms of payment include debit/credit card, HSA/FSA, cash, or check.
Deposit & Balance
A $250 deposit is required at the time of scheduling. The remaining balance is due prior to testing (at the first in-person appointment).
Insurance Reimbursement
If you plan to seek reimbursement, you can call your insurance company and ask about out-of-network neuropsychological testing coverage. You may need information such as:
Coverage percentage
Deductible requirements
Pre-authorization or referral requirements
Limits on testing hours or sessions
Claim submission process
I can provide a superbill after your appointment if you choose to submit a claim.
Your insurance company may reimburse part or all of the cost for out-of-network services, but coverage is not guaranteed. I recommend contacting your insurance provider directly to understand your benefits.
Good Faith Estimate
A written Good Faith Estimate is provided for all services, as required by the No Surprises Act.
Helpful Resource
Script for Calling Your Insurance Company
When you call, have your insurance card ready and ask to speak with someone about outpatient mental health or neuropsychological testing benefits.
1. Introduce Yourself
"Hello, I'm calling to find out if my plan covers out-of-network neuropsychological testing for my child."
2. Ask About Coverage
"Does my plan cover out-of-network neuropsychological or psychological testing?"
"If so, what percentage of the cost will be reimbursed?"
"Is there a deductible I must meet before coverage begins?"
3. Ask About Specific Codes
"Our provider may use the following billing codes. Can you tell me if these are covered under my plan?"
96116 Neurobehavioral status exam
96132 & 96133 Neuropsychological testing evaluation
96136 & 96137 Psychological or neuropsychological test administration/scoring
4. Ask About Requirements
"Does testing need to be pre-authorized?"
"Do I need a referral from my pediatrician?"
"Are there limits on the number of testing hours or sessions covered?"
5. Clarify Reimbursement Process
"If I pay the provider directly, how do I submit a claim for reimbursement?"
"What documentation is required (e.g., superbill, diagnostic codes, provider's NPI)?"
"How long does reimbursement usually take?"
Tip
Write down the date of your call, the name of the representative, and the details they provide in case you need to follow up.
Additional Notes
They may also ask for diagnosis (ICD-10) codes. I can provide these if needed. After your appointment, I'm happy to provide a superbill for reimbursement.
A written Good Faith Estimate is also provided for all services, as required by the No Surprises Act.
