Psychological Evaluations
We understand psychological assessments can be confusing and you may have questions about the process. Here are a few questions that are most commonly asked:
-
If you are referred for a psychological assessment by a potential employer, you should receive paperwork that tells the psychologist what kind of evaluation is required. Most psychologists will also follow up with the referral source to clarify what exactly is needed.
If you refer yourself for an assessment, an initial consultation will be conducted first. Based on this assessment, the psychologist will decide what kind of evaluation is further required to provide a thorough understanding of your difficulties.
-
A lot of people are familiar with medical tests, which typically last a few minutes. Psychological tests do take more time. A comprehensive assessment may take 5-6 hours and may be done in one appointment or several appointments. Typically, a report is written and a feedback session is held with you to give you a detailed overview of the results and recommendations.
-
Psychological assessments vary depending on the referral concern and on what requirements the referral source (e.g., employer, physician) may have. Because referral concerns and referral sources vary, psychological assessment prices vary. If you have questions about the pricing of psychological assessments, please call us.
-
Insurance covers some types of psychological assessments. However, insurance does not typically cover other types of assessments. Insurance does not typically cover learning disability assessments for adults or pre-employment/employment assessments. Also, insurance may cover all, some, or none of the cost of ADHD, bariatric pre-surgery and medical assessments, depending on the type of policy. However, you can typically use HSAs (healthcare flexible spending accounts) to pay for psychological assessments.
We provide high-quality psychological assessments for a variety of concerns.
