Frequently Asked Questions
If you can't find the answer you are looking for, please give our office a call and we will be happy to provide more information.
What is the cost of assessment?
Total evaluation cost varies per case and will be discussed in detail during the first meeting. Cost of the intake meeting will be discussed during the scheduling phone call with our office staff. Payments can be made in segments throughout the assessment process as services are rendered. Payment in full is expected by the end of the evaluation process prior to release of the report.

Is insurance accepted?
We do not currently accept insurance as a form of payment and all evaluations are considered an out-of-pocket cost. Meaning all parts of the evaluation are billed at an hourly rate, including intake interviews, assessment, scoring, reporting writing, and follow up appointments. At the end of the evaluation process we can provide you with a detailed superbill to submit to your insurance company for possible reimbursement.

Why is insurance not accepted?
The simple answer is to make the process as straightforward, confidential, and comprehensive as possible! Many insurance companies provide conflicting information on what is and is not covered for evaluation services, which can lead to confusion for our client's who hope to use their insurance plans but come to find out they will have out of pocket costs regardless of coverage. Not going through insurance also increases the confidential process of the evaluation by removing the obligation to report certain information to your insurance company, as well as removes barriers for what can and cannot be done throughout an assessment process.
|
What age range can be seen for an evaluation?
While the appropriate age range can vary depending on the purpose of the assessment, we see clients of almost all ages. From as young as 5 years old through elderly adulthood, we can work with you to get the answers you or your child have been looking for.
|
What can an assessment help me with?
Obtaining an assessment or evaluation can be helpful in many ways. Whether you want to confirm a diagnosis, better understand yourself or your child, rule out possible differential diagnoses, further inform treatment, or obtain services/supports. The answers gained through the process of assessment can help make the path forward more clear.
|
What happens after an assessment is complete?
We hope that each client will reach the end of an assessment with a better understanding of themselves and ways to positively move forward. Many times our clinicians will recommend treatment plans and/or programs that may help to address the present concerns. If so, we will provide referrals, contact information, and other assistance needed.

What payment methods do you accept?
We accept payment via cash, credit/debit card, or HSA.
