Why We Don’t Accept Insurance

We used to accept insurance for ADHD evaluations, but getting authorization was time-consuming and often arduous. We decided that our time was better spent with our clients, so we devote much time to the clinical work and our clientele.

The insurance companies do not reimburse us for the time to craft reports, which can be made available to (and written specifically for) doctors, schools/universities, counselors, and clients. Reports accompanying testing can be up to 9 pages long. Some insurance companies require that the clinician call them to get authorization for testing, but they may not grant that authorization.

Insurance companies do not reimburse us for the time it takes to consult with testing facilities for further analysis during our neuropsychological testing process. Insurance companies (at best) pay for diagnosis and treatment. However, claims are often rejected, which requires further billing and is a hassle for all involved. We’re a small practice and pride ourselves on offering individualized attention to our clients. This is where we want to spend our time—with you, providing quality clinical care.
