At The Luminous Mind, psychological testing services are offered exclusively in the form of Comprehensive Evaluations. These evaluations include both insurance-covered, medically necessary components and non-covered components for which clients are responsible for paying out of pocket.
Insurance-Covered Services
The following services are considered medically necessary and may be billed to insurance:
- Diagnostic interview
- Psychological test administration and scoring
- Clinical interpretation and diagnosis
- Medical-necessity report writing
These services are billed to insurance using appropriate CPT codes when we are in-network. If we are out-of-network, a superbill can be provided for possible reimbursement.
Non-Covered Services (Not Billable to Insurance)
1. Enhanced Reporting & Documentation
- Customized Planning Document:
An executive summary translating clinical findings into clear, non-clinical language, including prioritized goals and individualized recommendations.
- Resource Mapping:
A curated list of relevant resources (e.g., tutoring, vocational programs, support groups) tailored to the client’s needs.
2. Extended Integration & Advocacy Support
- Extended Integration Sessions:
Additional time beyond standard feedback to support deeper understanding, processing, and Q&A.
- Formal Third-Party Consultation:
Consultation with non-medical parties at the client’s request (e.g., coordination with therapists or schools).
- Parent/Family Coaching:
Practical guidance focused on home, academic, and behavioral strategies (distinct from therapy services).
3. Comprehensive Diagnostic Exploration
- Neuroaffirming Assessment Processes:
Flexible, individualized assessment approaches (e.g., pacing, breaks, sensory accommodations) to support accuracy, safety, and engagement. These often require additional professional time beyond standard insurance allowances.
- Elective Screening and Exploration:
Additional clinical exploration, including rule-outs, differential diagnosis, or client-requested areas of assessment.
Non-Covered Fee
A $750 flat fee applies to the non-covered components of the Comprehensive Evaluation. This fee reflects the professional time and resources required to provide the services described above.
- The fee provides access to the full range of non-covered services
- It does not guarantee that every service listed will be provided
- Services are determined based on:
- clinical appropriateness
- assessment findings
- the client’s needs and requests
