Why We're a Private-Pay Practice
We made a deliberate choice to operate outside insurance networks so we can provide the quality of care your family deserves. Insurance companies often limit the number of testing hours, restrict which assessment tools can be used, and impose rigid timelines. By being private-pay, we can take the time needed to truly understand your child, use the best available tools, and provide a comprehensive report that makes a real difference. We never want to compromise on the quality of your child's evaluation.
Fees & Insurance FAQ
By operating as a private-pay practice, we can provide more thorough evaluations without the limitations insurance companies often impose — such as restricted testing time, limited assessment tools, or rushed timelines. This allows us to give your child the comprehensive attention they deserve. We provide superbills for you to submit for potential out-of-network reimbursement.
We accept all major credit and debit cards, HSA/FSA cards, cash, and checks. We also offer interest-free payment plans to make evaluations accessible to all families.
We offer flexible, interest-free payment plans that allow you to spread the cost over 3–6 months. There's no credit check required. We'll work with you during your discovery call to find an arrangement that fits your budget.
Yes! Psychological evaluations are an eligible expense for both Health Savings Accounts (HSA) and Flexible Spending Accounts (FSA). You can use your HSA/FSA card directly at the time of service.
After your evaluation, we provide a detailed superbill (itemized receipt) with all the diagnostic and procedure codes your insurance company needs. Many families receive partial reimbursement through their out-of-network benefits. We recommend calling your insurance company before your evaluation to understand your specific out-of-network coverage.
Under the No Surprises Act, you have the right to receive a Good Faith Estimate explaining how much your medical care will cost. We provide this estimate before your evaluation so you know exactly what to expect — no surprises.
Your Right to a Good Faith Estimate
Under the No Surprises Act (effective January 1, 2022), health care providers are required to give patients who don't have insurance or who are not using insurance an estimate of the expected charges for medical services, including psychological testing services. You have the right to receive a Good Faith Estimate for the total expected cost of any non-emergency healthcare services. If you receive a bill that is at least $400 more than your Good Faith Estimate, you can dispute the bill.
