The process involves:

1. Initial Parent Meeting: Your child’s evaluation will begin with an initial interview and parent consultation via telehealth. If at all possible, all parents/guardians should be present for this meeting. We will discuss your questions and concerns about your child as well discuss what you are hoping to gain from the testing process. In this meeting, we will review the intake questionnaire and I will ask additional questions about your child’s history. 50% of the testing fee will be charged at this appointment. (90 minutes)

2. Testing Sessions: Most children and adolescents need a total of 8-10 hours of testing. Typically, testing is scheduled across 2-4 sessions, depending on the needs of your child. This testing will be done in person and/or via telehealth.

3. Comprehensive Psychological Report: You will receive your child’s comprehensive psychological report approximately two weeks after the final testing session. At this time, you will be responsible for paying the remaining 50% of the testing fee.

4. Parent Feedback Meeting: After you have had a chance to review your child’s psychological report, I will meet with you via telehealth to discuss your child’s testing results. This is an opportunity for you to better understand the testing results, discuss recommendations in greater depth, and answer any remaining questions. (60 minutes)

5. Child/Adolescent Feedback Meeting: When appropriate, I meet with your child to discuss their results in a developmentally appropriate manner and answer any questions they identified at the start of testing. (30 minutes). This will be done in person or via telehealth depending on the needs of you and your child.

6. Followup Support: The evaluation fee includes support by phone, email, and telehealth to assist families in implementing the recommendations and finding well-matched treatment providers. If desired, I will also work with existing treatment providers to communicate results.

Fees: Testing is customized based on the questions you’d like answered by testing, therefore the testing fee will be determined once we define the scope of testing. I offer a sliding scale based on income, if needed. I do not take insurance, however I will provide a copy of your paid invoice for you to use to get reimbursement from your insurance company.

Your Right to a Good Faith Estimate: You have the right to receive a “Good Faith Estimate” explaining how much your medical care will cost. Under the law, health care providers need to give patients who don’t have insurance or who are not using insurance an estimate of the bill for medical items and services. You have the right to receive a Good Faith Estimate for the total expected cost of any non-emergency items or services. This includes related costs like medical tests, prescription drugs, equipment, and hospital fees. Make sure your health care provider gives you a Good Faith Estimate in writing at least 1 business day before your medical service or item. You can also ask your health care provider, and any other provider you choose, for a Good Faith Estimate before you schedule an item or service. If you receive a bill that is at least $400 more than your Good Faith Estimate, you can dispute the bill. Make sure to save a copy or picture of your Good Faith Estimate.
