Insurance and payment-related information - Premier Psychological Services does not participate directly with insurance plans. - Because each insurance plan's benefits differ, clients are encouraged to check with their insurance company about whether their specific plan may reimburse part of the cost of psychological testing or other services. - When requested, the practice can provide an itemized receipt ("superbill") that includes relevant billing codes and dates of service so that clients can submit claims to their insurance company for possible out-of-network reimbursement. General assessment timeline and reports - After the final testing appointment, the results session with the psychologist typically occurs about 3 weeks later. At this appointment, the psychologist explains the results and discusses recommendations. - For some situations (such as deadlines for entrance exams and accommodations applications), an expedited evaluation process may be available. Clients can inquire with the office about expedited options when time-sensitive deadlines are approaching. Common assessment questions - Will insurance cover the assessment? Coverage depends on the specific insurance plan and on the type of testing requested. Some plans do not cover evaluations that are not considered medical/healthcare in nature. Clients should contact their insurance provider for details about coverage. - Do you test for Autism in adults? Yes. Premier Psychological Services has licensed psychologists who are certified to administer and interpret the ADOS (Autism Diagnostic Observation Schedule), which is a widely used, structured assessment for Autism Spectrum Disorder across the lifespan. - Do you test for ADHD in adults? Yes. The practice regularly evaluates adults for possible ADHD. - What should I bring to the assessment? Clients are asked to bring completed intake paperwork from the website, any prior assessment reports, and (for school-aged children) copies of report cards. Bringing favorite snacks and drinks is allowed and can help children stay comfortable during longer testing sessions. - Do I need to stay while my child is being tested? Parents are typically asked to remain in the waiting area for the first hour of a child's evaluation to ensure the child is comfortable. After that, many parents choose to leave briefly and return near the end of the session, as advised by the psychologist. - Can my child be re-tested if the results seem inconsistent with what I observe? Most children score within the average range on standardized tests. Due to practice effects, many standardized instruments cannot be repeated for approximately a year with the same child. In some circumstances, different tests may be used for follow-up assessment, but schools often discourage frequent re-testing. Purpose and benefits of psychoeducational assessment - Psychoeducational assessments can be valuable for students of all ages. - These evaluations help clarify areas of cognitive and academic strength, as well as areas that may benefit from additional support. - Results can help guide school placement decisions, classroom supports, and recommendations for home and school interventions. - For students applying to private schools or seeking accommodations, assessment results (along with other factors the school considers) can help determine how to best support the student's learning needs. Clients who have additional questions about assessments, scheduling, or insurance-related issues should contact the office directly.
