Child & Adolescent Psychologist
Fees & Insurance
I am not in network with any insurance company, but you may be able to seek reimbursement from your insurance provider as an "out of network" benefit.
I do offer a limited number of reduced-fee evaluations. Let me know if you believe you would qualify for a need-based, reduced-fee evaluation.
A Note About Insurance
Even though I am an out-of-network provider, there may be a work-around for getting your insurance to cover some of the costs of my services:
First, call your insurance company to inquire if you have "out of network" benefits. Ask them about the percentage of the costs they might cover for an out-of-network provider, and ask what your deductible is. Please see my FAQ page for more details on questions to ask your insurance provider.
After our testing is complete, I will provide you with a "superbill" (a statement that you can submit to your insurance company), and they may reimburse you for some of the cost of my services.
What are my fees?
COMPREHENSIVE EVALUATIONS
Flat Rate: $3,450
-
Testing begins with a one-hour intake appointment for parents only ($350). This is where we will discuss your concerns about your child in detail, before starting testing.
-
The remainder of the cost ($3,100) is for the rest of the evaluation process. Evaluations typically require between 10-15 hours of time spent administering and scoring the testing, speaking with outside referral sources (when appropriate), reviewing records, interpreting the results of testing, and writing up results into a diagnostic report. This flat rate fee also includes a final feedback session with the parent(s) to discuss the results and recommendations.
-
I will ask for half of the fee, as a deposit, after our intake appointment. The remaining half of the fee will be due after the testing is complete.
-
I will provide you with a superbill to submit to your insurance for possible reimbursement.
-
I offer a discount for children 5 years and younger, and for those who pay the evaluation fee with a check.
-
I do also offer significantly reduced-rate evaluations for families if/when the cost of an evaluation would pose a significant financial barrier to access. Because I offer fewer reduced-rate evaluations, this may mean longer wait times. Please ask me about this option if you believe you should qualify for a reduced-fee evaluation.
IQ Testing
Flat Rate: $650
I have a flat rate of $650 for IQ testing, which is usually performed if you are interested in having your child apply to gifted/private schools in the area. This fee includes about 1-2 hours of testing with the child and brief summary/write-up of the results.
I do not routinely provide a follow-up feedback appointment after the testing is complete, but you are welcome to ask questions via email or schedule an additional consultation session with me ($95 for a 30-minute appointment).
IQ testing for private school admissions is not covered by insurance.
Early Entrance to Kindergarten testing
Flat Rate: $675
I have a flat rate of $675 for Early Entrance to Kindergarten Evaluations (EEKE). This includes about 2 hours of testing with the child and a brief summary/write-up of the results.
I do not routinely provide a follow-up feedback appointment after the testing is complete, but you are welcome to ask questions via email or schedule an additional consultation session with me ($95 for a 30-minute appointment).
Early Entrance Testing is not covered by insurance.
Consultation sessions
$200/hour
I am available for consultation with parents and teachers, most often as follow-up after an evaluation is complete. For example, parents sometimes ask me to attend school meetings. I can also provide short-term behavioral consultation for parents.
Consultation appointments are scheduled in 60-minute increments but sometimes run shorter, and I will bill accordingly.
