If you are the parent who is bringing your child in for appointments, you may be asked for the divorce decree, legal/medical custody agreement, name, address and telephone number of his or her other parent. As a routine matter, both parents will be invited to participate in your child’s treatment. The exact form and frequency of such contacts will be determined on the basis of need as assessed on a case-by-case basis by your child’s doctor or therapist. When one parent objects, treatment cannot proceed. In order for treatment to proceed, parents must resolve the matter between them, or refer the matter to the court for resolution.This consent will remain in effect through completion of your treatment or evaluation with Clarity. You have the right to revoke your consent at any time. Should you choose to do so, we ask that you do so in writing. Notice of revocation of consent will be considered effective on the date your doctor receives your revocation.

Medical Records & Office Hours
We are required by law, to keep complete medical records. Most of our medical records will be electronic, encrypted. Any written records including the initial consent forms, letters, outside medical records, will be kept locked. You are entitled to review your medical record at any time, unless we feel that by viewing your records, your emotional or physical well-being will be jeopardized. If you wish to view your records, we recommend that we review them together to minimize any confusion or misinterpretation of medical terms. Time spent collecting, printing, copying, and summarizing the medical record will be charged the appropriate fee. We understand that at times, various forms or letters may be required to assist you with your healthcare needs. Clarity staff can complete forms and write letters as necessary upon request, assuming they do not put the clinician in dual roles or challenge ethical guidelines. Please allow 3-5 business days for completion of requested forms/letters. There may be an additional fee assessed for completion of forms as most insurance carriers do not cover this additional service. Our office is available Monday-Friday 9:00 am - 5:00 pm and may be reached at 617-982-2129 or by email at support@ClarityPsychologicalTesting.com. Our providers are NOT available after hours and some providers may have an alternate working schedule. If you need any further information before your appointment or have questions regarding an appointment, please use our secure portal to message our practice or call during regular business hours. We are contracted with most insurance companies and have a contracted rate we accept. However, it is your responsibility to verify coverage and deductibles with your insurance company prior to consenting to services.

PSYCHOLOGICAL TESTING:Overview of Process:Our testing occurs in three easy appointments: 1) the intake appointment where you provide info to the clinician first. Intake appointments can be quick and to the point if there are only a few concerns or they can span a full 45 minutes. 2) the testing appointment (in person) this can be a 4-6 hour day when you come to our office for testing with our psychometrist. 3) the feedback appt.: this is where the clinician goes over the results of your testing with you, what was ruled in, what was ruled out, and treatment recommendations. Around 2 weeks after this appt, the full report will be sent to you via our secure portal. General info: The pre-screening form will be used as initial history. A provider at Clarity will ask for additional information during your initial intake. Please send to support@claritypsychologicaltesting.com or upload any previous neuropsychological test results, school testing results, and/or pertinent records to the patient portal before your initial appointment. We reserve the right to decline a testing case for any reason if we feel it is not a good fit for our practice. At this time, Clarity does not administer the ADOS-2, which is often a requirement of many programs to recognize an Autism diagnosis. However, we are able to screen for Autism in conjunction with testing for other diagnoses such anxiety, depression, ADHD, if you are just questioning it. Misrepresentation:We do not perform evaluations that would be considered falling outside of "medical necessity," as deemed by your insurance carrier. These often include evaluations that are court ordered, forensic, adoption, surrogacy, disability, custody, capacity, competency. You also may be waiving your right to testing by a forensic psychologist (specialist) once you’ve had testing done in our office. We are not specialized or trained to testify in a forensic setting, therefore, this could possibly hinder your chances of winning your case or obtaining disability benefits. You are signing below that if you misrepresent your reasons for wanting testing or are not clear that you are needing testing for reasons outside of pure diagnostic clarification; you will be responsible for the entirety of our fee at the standard rate (not the contracted insurance rate) as well as any travel and/or legal consultation fees incurred as a result of your case. Final Report:Once your full out-of-pocket responsibility has been met, we continue processing your finalized report. Therefore, please make sure your payment is up to date and complete for the quickest turnaround and efficiency of your results. Psychotherapy, or talk-therapy, is a powerful treatment for many mental complaints. It offers benefits of improved interpersonal relationships, stress reduction, and a deeper insight into one’s own life, values, goals, and development. It requires a great deal of motivation, discipline and work on both parties for a therapeutic relationship to be an effective one. Clients will have varying success depending on the severity of their complaints, their capacity for introspection, and their motivation to apply what is learned outside of sessions. Clients should be aware that the process of psychotherapy may bring about unpleasant memories, feelings, and sensations such as guilt, anxiety, anger, or sadness, especially in its initial phases. It is not uncommon for these feelings to have an impact on current relationships you may have. If this occurs, it is very important to address these issues in session. Usually, these unpleasant sensations are short lived. At your initial visit, your provider will conduct a thorough review of your current complaints and of your background. One of the most important curative aspects of a therapeutic relationship is the goodness-of-fit between therapist and client, so, the initial visit is also your opportunity to determine for yourself if the therapist you’ve been matched with is the right provider for you. If you feel that the therapist is not well matched to your needs, we would be happy to provide you referrals to other mental health professionals.Frequency and Durations of Psychotherapy Visits:Your initial consultation visit will decide together the structure of your therapy. If you are to undertake psychotherapy, we find that weekly 45-60-minute sessions will provide the best results. We may discuss an alternate treatment structure depending on your circumstances.

Confidentiality
The security of your sensitive information is of utmost importance to us, and we are bound by law to protect your confidentiality. Any disclosure of your treatment to others will require your explicit written consent. As described above, basic information about your treatment may be disclosed to your insurance company for purposes of prior authorization or claims payment if necessary.There are exceptions to this confidentiality, where disclosure is mandatory. These include the following:• If there is a threat to the safety of others, we will be required by law to take protective measures including reporting the threat to the potential victim, notifying police, and seeking hospitalization.• When there is a threat of harm to yourself, we are required to seek immediate hospitalization, and will likely seek the aid of family members or friends to ensure your safety.• If a mental illness prevents you from providing for your own basic needs such as food, water, shelter, we will be required to disclose information to seek hospitalization.These situations rarely occur in an outpatient setting. If they do arise, we will make our best effort to discuss any action plan with you. However, some instances may require action without prior notification. In rare circumstances we may find it helpful to consult with other professionals specialized in such situations (without disclosing your identity). If you are a minor, your parents may be legally entitled to some information about your therapy or testing. We will discuss with you and your parents’ what information is appropriate for them to receive and which issues are more appropriately kept confidential.

No Surprises Act

An Important Update About Our Materials Fees
Due to the rising costs of our essential test materials and the fact that insurers do not cover these expenses nor provide rate adjustments to offset the continual increases, we are unable to absorb these costs without jeopardizing our ability to continue offering these services in-network. Under the No Surprises Act, we are committed to being transparent about any costs that may not be covered by your insurance.Please be advised that test material fees are considered a non-covered expense by most insurers, including yours. As a result, we must apply a flat fee of $150 to help cover the rising costs of materials essential to your testing and assessment. While the actual costs of materials for a full test battery are significantly higher, we are charging only a small percentage to ensure affordability while maintaining service quality.Upon receipt of the required form, this $150 fee will be assessed. If the payment method on file is valid and the charge is successfully collected, you will be added to our scheduler's contact list to arrange your intake appointment.However, if the payment method on file is invalid or cannot be processed, you will receive one additional reminder to update your payment information and process the charge. If the payment is still not resolved after this reminder, you will not be contacted to schedule your intake appointment until funds are successfully collected. This policy ensures that we can provide continuity of care and avoid unnecessary delays due to payment issues throughout your patient journey.Thank you for your understanding and support in helping us provide quality care while responsibly managing rising costs.

Teaching Facility
Our practice is a teaching facility and as such implements the use of psychometrists, trainees, and graduate level interns who often require supervision and feedback. We employ various technologies to be able to periodically monitor our employee and Independent Contractors (IC’s) performance to ensure quality control and standardization of test administration protocols. In this vein, some or all of your session may be electronically recorded for training and educational purposes. All employees and IC’s of Clarity have signed a Business Associate Agreement, which prohibits them from releasing or sharing any PHI pertaining to our clients with outside parties unless required to by law.
