Frequently Asked Questions About Neuropsychological Evaluations

What are Neuropsychological Evaluations?

A neuropsychological assessment is a comprehensive evaluation of cognitive, emotional, and behavioral functioning, using a battery of standardized tests and procedures. A neuropsychological assessment is a vital tool in understanding how brain function affects behavior and cognition. It provides a thorough evaluation that informs diagnosis, treatment, and support strategies, ultimately helping you to move past obstacles in order to reach your short and long term life goals.

The key components of a neuropsychological assessment are:

Clinical Interview: A detailed interview with the individual and often family members or caregivers to gather information about medical history, psychological background, educational and occupational history, and current symptoms.
Record Review: Reviewing relevant medical, educational, and psychological records to provide a comprehensive understanding of the individual’s history and current functioning.
Standardized Testing: A variety of standardized tests are administered to assess different cognitive domains, including memory, attention and concentration, language skills, motor planning, executive functioning and visuospatial skills.
Behavioral and Emotional Assessment: Questionnaires and interviews to assess emotional functioning, personality, and behavior. This helps identify any psychological factors that might influence cognitive performance.

What are the benefits of obtaining a Neuropsychological Assessment?

Obtaining a neuropsychological assessment offers several key benefits for individuals experiencing cognitive, emotional, or behavioral difficulties. Firstly, it provides an accurate diagnosis of various conditions, including ADHD, learning disabilities, and psychological disorders. This ensures that individuals receive appropriate treatment and support tailored to their specific needs. Additionally, a neuropsychological assessment offers insights into cognitive strengths and weaknesses, guiding personalized interventions to improve daily functioning and quality of life. By monitoring progress over time, the assessment helps individuals and their healthcare providers evaluate the effectiveness of treatments and make informed decisions about ongoing care. Overall, a neuropsychological assessment is a valuable tool for understanding complex brain-behavior relationships and facilitating optimal life outcomes.

How long do the Neuropsychological Evaluations take?

The length of the neuropsychological evaluation process can vary from several weeks to a couple of months, depending on the complexity of the case and the specific assessments needed. Typically:

Initial Appointment: The initial clinical interview and information gathering takes 1-2 hours.
Questionnaires and Testing: Completing behavioral questionnaires and any cognitive tests takes 4 to 8 hours, often done over one or two sessions.
Feedback Session: After all information is collected and analyzed, a feedback session is scheduled, usually within 4 to 6 weeks of the initial appointment, to discuss the results and next steps.

What are the fees associated with Neuropsychological Evaluations?

We accept health insurance and are in-network with Blue Cross Blue Sheild, United Healthcare and Aetna. We recommend reaching out to your insurance company to obtain information about your specific mental health benefits. The codes that we use for neuropsychological assessments are:

Clinical Interview – 90791
Psychological Testing – 96136 and 96137
Clinical Data Review and Integration – 96132 and 96133
Interactive Feedback and Treatment Planning – 96132

Private pay fees for neuropsychological assessments can range from $1500 for brief batteries to $3000 for more complex assessment needs.

What should I expect on the day of testing?

You can expect a calm, structured experience. Most evaluations include:

• A clinical interview
• Standardized thinking and problem-solving tasks
• Paper-and-pencil activities
• Computer-based tasks
• Questionnaires about mood, behavior, and daily functioning

You’ll have breaks. You can use the restroom, grab a snack, and stretch. This is not a “gotcha” experience. It is a collaborative process designed to understand you better, not judge you.

What will I actually be doing during the evaluation?

You can expect a calm, structured experience. Most evaluations include:

• A clinical interview
• Standardized thinking and problem-solving tasks
• Paper-and-pencil activities
• Computer-based tasks
• Questionnaires about mood, behavior, and daily functioning

You’ll have breaks. You can use the restroom, grab a snack, and stretch. This is not a “gotcha” experience. It is a collaborative process designed to understand you better, not judge you.

What if I get anxious or feel like I’m not doing well?

That’s completely okay.

Many people feel nervous, especially if attention, memory, or learning has been a source of stress. This is not a test you “pass” or “fail.” We are looking for patterns, not perfection.

If you feel anxious, we can pause. If you need a break, you can take one. Your comfort matters.

What kinds of questions can a neuropsychological assessment help answer?

Neuropsychological testing can help clarify:

• ADHD
• Learning differences
• Executive functioning challenges
• Memory concerns
• Processing speed issues
• Emotional factors impacting performance
• Differential diagnoses

The goal is clarity. Once we understand how your brain is working, we can make targeted, practical recommendations.

How will I receive the assessment results?

You will receive a detailed written report explaining the findings in clear, understandable language.

We will review the results with you and provide specific recommendations for school, work, therapy, or accommodations if needed.

This is not just about identifying challenges. It’s about identifying strengths and next steps.

Is it normal to be worried about what the results may show?

It’s normal to feel nervous about labels or findings.

In reality, most people feel relief after testing. Clarity helps replace self-blame with understanding. Instead of “What’s wrong with me?” it becomes “Now I understand how my brain works.”

That shift alone can be powerful.

How should I prepare?

• Get a good night’s sleep
• Eat beforehand
• Take medications as prescribed (unless instructed otherwise)

You do not need to “study.” In fact, you can’t prepare for this in the traditional sense. The goal is to see how you naturally think and process information.

Do you complete accommodation, FMLA, or disability paperwork?

Yes. We complete accommodation, FMLA, and disability-related forms when clinically appropriate.

Because this service falls outside of direct treatment and insurance-covered care, form completion is not billed to insurance. Paperwork is completed as a private-pay service at the clinician’s prorated hourly rate.

We will first review the forms you are requesting to have completed and let you know whether the request falls within the scope of our services and clinical expertise. If it does, we will complete only the portions for which we are qualified and have clinically relevant information based on your evaluation or treatment.

Our role is to provide accurate, ethically sound documentation — not to guarantee approval of benefits or accommodations. If you are considering submitting paperwork, we’re happy to discuss the process during your appointment.

Our Testimonials — Ravenswood

It is very tailored to me and what works best for me. I feel very in control of pushing myself.

My therapist is amazing and has truly helped me and shown me that it is okay for me to be me.

My therapist is fantastic and I truly don’t feel judged by the things I say.

My provider always goes above and beyond to assist me with anything that comes up and is very flexible. All other staff members I have spoken to that have assisted me in other things have also been great.

The office environment and our therapist are welcoming and accessible for an anxious 6-year-old. I appreciate how our therapist’s approach is tailored specifically to my child’s personality, and that she is challenged in just the right way to move her progress along without losing her trust.

My therapist asked me questions I've never been asked before and have never thought to bring up with a therapist in the past. In the past several months I've realized that the executive dysfunction I struggled with as a kid never really went away, and in my intake session with him I felt that I had his undivided attention and that even the smallest concerns I had were taken seriously.

I feel better off than I did a year ago. It seems therapy is working for me.
