SERVICES
Testing & Evaluations
Mental Health Resources provides prompt, professional assessments of
personality, intelligence, academic performance, and offers complete
psychological evaluations for school and court ordered testing. To schedule evaluations, call the
administrative office. You will need
to provide the reason for the evaluation and insurance information as well as
the name and age of the person to be assessed and contact information. Most insurance companies require
pre-authorization for psychological testing. You may need to schedule an intake
appointment prior to the test administration appointment. Most test administration is done by
technicians under the supervision of a licensed clinical psychologist. Most insurance programs are accepted. ( To be covered by insurance, testing must be deemed
medically necessary by the insurance company.)
Court-Ordered
Testing
All of our court-ordered
evaluations are billed on a cash basis.
The amount of $850.00
should be paid before or on the day of testing. Payment method should be cash, check or other payment arrangements should be made
before the testing date.
Bariatric and Lap-Band
Testing
Some
insurance companies cover this procedure and some don’t. We will review your insurance information and
let you know about your coverage prior to testing. These evaluations usually are priced at $
300.00.
Educational Testing Educational testing
can be performed for students of all ages.
Insurance companies do not consider educational testing to meet the
criteria for medical necessity and do not cover this service. If other parts of
the evaluation such as diagnosing attention deficit-hyperactivity disorder can
be considered medically necessary you will be billed separately for the
educational portion of the testing.
Please note that some insurance companies consider all intelligence
testing to be educational testing.
Most evaluation appointments will involve two to four hours depending on the
tests administered, and individual differences.
Please ask the Administrative Staff if there are any other instructions unique to your testing per the Psychologist.
