FAQs
What is the cost of testing?
The cost of the testing depends on the types of questions being asked. You will be provided with a Good Faith Estimate prior to scheduling an appointment. Our testing and evaluation services are self pay only. This approach allows us to provide more personalized and comprehensive assessments without the limitations often imposed by insurance companies. It ensures that we can focus on delivering the highest quality of care tailored to each child’s unique needs, leading to more accurate diagnoses and effective treatment plans.
Do I need a referral?
We accept self or caregiver referral for testing; however, your primary care doctor or other providers may make a referral. It is likely that the evaluator will seek input from such outside resources.
