Services may be covered in full or in part by your health insurance or employee benefit plan. Please check your coverage carefully by asking the following questions:
- Do I or my child have mental health benefits or a physical diagnosis that allows for testing, within a PPO?
- What is my deductible and has it been met?
- How many sessions per calendar year does my plan cover?
- How much does my plan cover for an out-of-network provider?
- Is approval required from my primary care physician?
- Neuropsychological testing is indicated to objectively measure functioning and inform the diagnosis and treatment (a medical necessity), ideally supported by a physician referral.
- Please note that while testing may be used for educational purposes, health insurance does not cover testing specifically for education.
Unfortunately, many insurance plans do not adequately provide for neuropsychological testing. Please check with your individual insurance plan to see about their reimbursement policies. In many cases, reimbursement depends on the diagnosis of your child. Please keep in mind that what insurance companies consider to be a percentage of reimbursement for "usual and customary" fees are not based on true charges.
