FAQ’s ABOUT NEUROPSYCHOLOGICAL/PSYCHOLOGICAL TESTING

What is a neuropsychological/psychological assessment?

Neuropsychological/Psychological assessment and testing at Cedar Tree is a process of trying to determine the core components of a person’s neuropsychological/psychological or mental health problems, personality, IQ, or some other component. It is also a process that helps identify not just weaknesses of a person, but also their strengths.

What is your process of neuropsychological/psychological assessment & testing like?

Our team approach to assessment and testing begins with professionals who initially assess your concerns in an in-person, intake session performed. They then determine the individualized battery of tests that will help uncover your unique challenges and strengths. Next, the day (or days) of testing is scheduled and you’ll be assessed by the clinical psychologist/neuropsychologist. Finally, you’ll have a follow up appointment where you will receive a comprehensive review of your results and diagnoses.

Why is neuropsychological/psychological assessment or testing needed?

The causes of emotional, social, or relational challanges is not always clear. When concerns arise at school, at work, or in everyday life, there can be many possible explanations.

With a clearer understanding of the underlying factors, a clinical psychologist/neuropsychologist can provide targeted recommendations and a thoughtful plan to support success at any stage of life.

What does neuropsychological assessment & testing cost?

Testing can be quite an investment. Costs vary signifcantly based on insurance coverage and which tests are required. Check with your insurance to see if testing is covered by your plan. During the intake process, you can also request an estimate for out of pocket cost if you will not be using insurance.

Will my insurance plan cover any part of neuropsychological/psychological assessment or testing?

Many PPO plans cover some portion of neuropsychological/psychological assessment or testing with an in-network provider. However, plans vary.

It is vital that you are fully aware of your current insurance benefits, including your deductible amounts (for both in and out of network providers), co-insurance, or co-pay amounts, at the time of the evaluation.

How long is the evaluation and testing process?

The length of the evaluation depends on several factors, including the referral questions, the individual’s age, and their ability to participate in interactive testing.

Typically, the process includes an initial intake meeting (with parents, a partner, or the individual, depending on age and needs), one to two face-to-face testing sessions, and a comprehensive feedback appointment to review results and recommendations.

From start to finish, our goal is to complete the evaluation process within 4–6 weeks.

Do I need a referral for testing?

No, you can schedule an evaluation without a referral. You are welcome and encouraged to call us directly to discuss your questions/concerns. We will have a brief phone consultation to determine if our services are the best fit for your concerns.

What about follow-up services?

A critical component of the evaluation process is the collaborative discussion of meaningful, practical recommendations to support you or your loved one moving forward.

If psychotherapy or other services are recommended, we provide thoughtfully tailored referrals based on age, goals, and specific needs. Whether that involves school-based supports, workplace accommodations, individual therapy, family counseling, or specialized treatment providers. Our goal is to ensure you leave with clear next steps and trusted resources that are a strong fit for this stage of life.

Is the information from the evaluation confidential?

Yes, absolutely. Any information shared during the evaluation process is kept strictly confidential. Information is only released with written consent, for example, if you would like consultation with a teacher, physician, therapist, employer, or other relevant professional.

A comprehensive written report is provided directly to the adult client or to the parent(s)/legal guardian(s), depending on age. Reports are shared with outside providers only with written authorization.

The only exceptions to confidentiality involve situations required by law and professional ethics, such as suspected child, dependent adult, or elder abuse, or concerns about imminent safety. In those cases, appropriate parties will be notified to ensure protection and support.
