The comprehensive evaluation fee at WCP includes all testing, feedback, and report writing services, as well as these specific follow-up support services:
- Basic coordination of care with schools and other providers.
- One 1-hour in-person or video conference meeting with the client’s school.
- Providing relevant referrals.
Follow-up support services beyond those listed here e.g., multiple school visits, extended phone conversations with other providers, etc. will be billed at the standard hourly consultation rate of $215/hour. Wolff Child Psychology will use its discretion in determining when the requested follow-up services have extended beyond the evaluation scope. If the services provided to the Client are covered by insurance you will only be charged for such support services to the extent such charges are allowed by the insurance plan.
An in-school clinical observation is also considered to be outside the comprehensive evaluation fee. If families choose to include this service when scheduling the evaluation, the additional fee will be built into the overall cost. If an in-school observation is deemed necessary during the evaluation process, the additional fee will be charged at that time. Fees for school observations include travel, observation, and write-up time, charged at our standard rate of $215/hour.
Time to conduct separate interviews and feedback sessions for parents who choose not to complete these evaluation pieces together (e.g., in cases of divorce) is also considered to be outside the comprehensive evaluation fee. If families choose to have separate interviews and feedback sessions when scheduling the evaluation, the additional fee will be built into the overall cost. If they choose this format during the evaluation process, the additional fee will be charged at that time. Fees for separate interviews and feedback sessions are charged at our standard rate of $215/hour.
Finally, evaluation fees covered by third parties (e.g., Medicaid, Kaiser, Carelon, district-funded Independent Educational Evaluations, and others) may have specific scopes and fee structures determined by those parties. These scopes and fees will be discussed with you during the intake scheduling process.
