Fees, Payment Policy and Procedures

Cost of administering, scoring, and interpretation of tests:

Psychological testing involves administration, scoring, and interpretations of tests; I will prepare a written report and provide a verbal discussion with regard to the test findings, recommendations, and referrals.

  • I am a fee-for-service provider; office services are based on an hourly rate of $200.00 per hour. The cost for a full assessment is determined by the total number of hours required for me to complete the full evaluation process, from testing time to review session. Typically, a full assessment ranges from $700 to $3500. I will determine if only a few tests from the full battery, or out-of-office investigation, are needed to avoid any unnecessary and expensive procedures.

When payment is due:

  • For comprehensive evaluations, a partial payment of $1000 is required on, or before, the day of testing.

  • Another $1000, or balance, is due after scoring, interpretation, and before releasing the report and follow-up interview (approximately two (2) weeks after testing is completed).

  • Payment can be made in cash or any major credit card.

  • Speak with our Office Administrator to discuss financial source options other than those stated.

Medical insurance responsibility:

  • We do not accept insurance as a source of payment. However, we will sign the necessary forms for your reimbursement. 
  • Many insurance companies do not cover psychological testing, and those who do will typically only reimburse a portion of the costs. It is your responsibility to contact your insurance company to determine benefits. 
  • Please note we do not assume any responsibility for the insurance company’s policies and procedures regarding reimbursement for services rendered nor do we submit paperwork to insurance companies. 

Important Recommendation:

Ask the following, when you call your medical insurance carrier:

  • Is the cost of psychological testing covered?

  • Is there a deductible?

  • What portion will be reimbursed?
  • Is a referral needed from a primary care physician?

  • Is pre-authorization required?

It should be understood by all persons receiving service that Dr. Brown provides diagnostic services only and that no doctor-patient relationship exists or is implied by the Examination.
