Will my insurance pay for neuropsychological services?
We have a neuropsychology customer service representative to guide parents through each step of the insurance process.
Insurance companies vary in what they cover. We work with these companies to reduce hassles and unexpected bills for the families. In the large majority of cases, we are able to obtain insurance approval to pay for all or most of our services.
Most insurance companies require that the parent call them before they authorize services. Sometimes a referral from your child's doctor is required.
