Do you take insurance?

I believe that you and your family should be the people making decisions regarding the care you receive, not insurance companies. By not contracting with insurance companies, I’m allowed to prioritize 1) your privacy and confidentiality and 2) tailoring the assessment to your needs.

Your Privacy and Confidentiality

Your care should be private and confidential. Working with insurance companies can interfere with your privacy as insurance companies have the right to request your test records, review our private session notes, and review your diagnosis(es). You are more than a diagnosis or a billing code and you deserve care that is private and personalized, not care that is dictated by insurance companies or third parties.

Tailored Assessments

You deserve tailored and personalized assessments to answer your questions, regardless if it’s seen as “medically necessary” or if it results in a diagnosis covered under your insurance’s plan. You also deserve as many sessions as you need to complete as many assessments needed to reach a conclusion to your questions. Insurance companies severely restrict the length of time and number of sessions we can schedule to complete your assessment.

I view assessments as an investment. Results of an assessment can provide a roadmap of potential services and care options that you and/or your child can benefit from over the course of years to come.

A deposit is due to schedule your intake appointment (your first appointment after we have your phone consultation).

Half of your assessment cost is due on the day of testing.

The remaining balance is due before the feedback session can be scheduled.

Your employer may offer Flexible Spending Accounts (FSAs) or Health Savings Accounts (HSAs). I can accept payment from either an FSA or HSA card (basically acts like a debit card)

Please note, for some FSAs, you may be asked to submit documentation (like a “superbill”) for reimbursement. We can talk about what information will be included in a “superbill” so that you can make an informed decision regarding protecting your privacy.

Yes, you can! Even though I’m an out-of-network provider, I can provide a “superbill” for you to use to submit to your insurance for reimbursement. However, there are some things to note:

1) Your privacy: A “superbill” will list your diagnosis(es) and other details that you may want to keep confidential.

2) Psychoeducational testing (testing for cognitive abilities and learning differences/disability) is usually not covered by insurance, even if I accepted your insurance/was considered an in-network provider. Insurance companies typically view psychoeducational testing as the responsibility of school systems and don’t deem this type of testing as “medically necessary.”

3) ADHD and autism assessments may only be partially reimbursed. There are aspects of ADHD and autism testing that insurance does view as “medically necessary,” but there are other aspects (e.g., executive functioning tests, intellectual/cognitive functioning, adaptive functioning) that insurance may not view as necessary.
