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.INSURANCE POLICIES – If you did not fill out your health insurance info above, please send a picture of the front and back of your card to support@claritypsychologicaltesting.com or upload to your patient portal (an invitation will be sent after we receive these forms). 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.
No Surprises Act
An Important Update on Testing 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.
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.
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.
Correspondence
Electronic communications, both telephone and Internet (including email), are not secure methods of communication, and there is some risk that one’s confidentiality could be compromised with their use. Clarity may communicate with clients using these mediums. If you would prefer to not be contacted by telephone, text, or email, please inform us and we will honor this request. For non-urgent matters, please use the patient portal as this is the most secure way of communication. Please allow 24 business hours for a response. Messages left late in the day, on weekends or holidays, may not be returned until the next business day. If you or someone close to you is in crisis or immediate danger, please call 9-1-1 or proceed to the nearest emergency room.

Clarity Psychological is committed to providing high-quality care by integrating advanced technologies and comprehensive training programs. This document outlines our practices regarding the use of artificial intelligence (AI) in documentation and recording.Use of AI in Documentation:Purpose and Benefits: We employ HIPAA-compliant AI technologies to assist with note-taking and automation in some areas of our reports. 1. Diagnostic Accuracy:AI algorithms can analyze extensive datasets, including de-identified electronic health records and patient-reported outcomes, to identify patterns indicative of specific psychological conditions. By recognizing subtle correlations that human clinicians may overlook, AI supports more accurate and timely diagnoses, leading to effective interventions.2. Predictive Analytics:By examining patient data, AI can forecast potential mental health events, such as the onset of depressive episodes or anxiety disorders. These predictive capabilities enable practitioners to implement preventive measures, thereby improving patient outcomes. 3. Workflow Optimization:AI can automate routine administrative tasks, such as scheduling, documentation, and initial patient assessments, reducing the administrative burden on mental health professionals. This automation minimizes errors associated with manual processes and allows clinicians to devote more time to direct patient care. Another example is that we can now use AI to automatically put patient data in tables vs. having someone manually do this. 4. Treatment Personalization:AI assists in developing personalized treatment plans by analyzing individual patient data, leading to more effective interventions and reducing the trial-and-error approach often associated with treatment selection. 5. Enhancing Patient Engagement:This technology helps transform complex, academic language into more understandable terms, ensuring clarity in our communications with you and your treatment team. 6. Addressing Human Limitations:AI mitigates issues arising from human limitations, such as fatigue or cognitive overload, by providing decision support and error-checking mechanisms, enhancing overall patient safety. Challenges and Considerations:Artificial intelligence (AI) systems have become integral to modern healthcare, offering benefits such as data analysis and decision support. However, it's important to acknowledge that AI can occasionally produce inaccuracies or "hallucinations," where the system generates incorrect or misleading information. Similarly, human clinicians are susceptible to errors, particularly under conditions of high workload and stress. Burnout among healthcare professionals has been linked to increased rates of medical errors, including miscommunication and information mix-ups between patient cases. https://clinicians.org/wp-content/uploads/2024/01/Clinician-Burnout_-Predictors_Final-508.pdfRecognizing these potential pitfalls is crucial for maintaining patient safety. Both AI systems and human practitioners should be subject to continuous evaluation and improvement to minimize errors. Our Commitment to Quality Assurance in AI IntegrationAt our practice, we are dedicated to maintaining the highest standards of patient care by integrating artificial intelligence (AI) tools alongside human clinical judgment. Recognizing that AI systems can occasionally produce inaccuracies and that human clinicians may also experience errors, especially under high workloads or stress, we have implemented robust checks and balances to mitigate these risks.Our Quality Assurance Measures Include:Cross-Referencing Data: We systematically compare AI-generated insights with human clinical evaluations to ensure consistency and accuracy in patient assessments.Continuous Monitoring: Our team regularly reviews both AI outputs and clinical decisions to identify and correct any discrepancies promptly.Ongoing Training: We provide continuous education for our staff on the latest AI developments and best practices, fostering a collaborative environment where technology enhances human expertise.By diligently applying these measures, we strive to deliver safe, effective, and reliable patient care, leveraging the strengths of both AI technology and human judgment.Data Privacy and Security:We secure BAA and HIPAA compliant contracts with all technologies our practice utilizes. Our AI system operates on an enterprise platform that does not contribute to public AI training. We de-identify all patient information before processing, and stringent security measures are in place to protect your data.The Importance of AI Adoption in Modern HealthcareArtificial intelligence is becoming integral to contemporary healthcare, offering numerous benefits that enhance patient care and operational efficiency. Practices that do not adopt AI may be at a disadvantage, similar to how relying solely on paper filing systems when Electronic Health Records (EHRs) are available can hinder efficiency and data security.The integration of AI in healthcare is not just a trend but a significant advancement that aligns with the industry's move towards more efficient, accurate, and patient-centered care.Video Recording for Training and Supervision:Purpose: As a teaching facility, we may record short video clips (approximately 5-8 minutes) during intake sessions. These recordings serve two primary purposes:Clinical Review: They allow supervising psychologists to observe and assess patient interactions when not directly conducting the intake.Education and Training: The recordings are utilized to teach and train provisionally licensed graduate students and interns, enhancing the educational experience and ensuring high-quality care.Confidentiality: All recordings are treated with strict confidentiality. They are stored securely and accessed only by authorized personnel for supervision and training purposes. Your Choices and Consent:We understand that the integration of technology and recording practices may not align with everyone's preferences. You have the option to:Proceed with Our Practice: By signing below, you acknowledge and consent to the use of AI in documentation and the potential recording of brief video segments during sessions.Opt for Alternative Care: If you are uncomfortable with these practices, you may choose not to sign this consent form. Please inform our intake coordinator of your decision, and we will remove you from our list and provide referrals to other facilities.Please note that our reliance on modern technology is essential to operate efficiently within the constraints set by managed care. Integrating AI and video recordings allows us to provide a thorough testing experience while adhering to the limited time allocations for intake, testing, and feedback.Consent Acknowledgment:I have read and understood the information provided above regarding the use of AI technology and video recording in my care. I have had the opportunity to ask questions, and all my concerns have been addressed to my satisfaction. By signing below, I voluntarily consent to these practices during my medical encounters.Dear Patient,We acknowledge and deeply regret the frustration and inconvenience you've experienced regarding the delays in scheduling your feedback session and receiving your psychological report. Your concerns are valid, and we aim to address them transparently.Distinguishing Between Fraudulent Practices and Operational ChallengesHealthcare fraud involves intentional deception to secure unauthorized benefits, such as billing for services not rendered or falsifying medical records. For example, billing for a service that was never provided constitutes fraud. In contrast, while regrettable, delays stemming from administrative burdens, staffing shortages, or insurance processing issues do not equate to fraudulent activity. Many medical practices face significant challenges due to complex insurance requirements and administrative tasks, impacting operational efficiency and timely patient communication. Your Specific ConcernsDelay in Feedback Session and Report Delivery: The postponement of your feedback session and the delivery of your psychological report are primarily due to administrative and staffing challenges we are currently addressing. Though unacceptable, these delays are not indicative of fraudulent intent but operational inefficiencies exacerbated by external factors →, specifically trying to work in network with your insurance carrier, which have significantly increased the administrative burden on the clinician. Insurance Payment Verification: We acknowledge the discrepancy regarding the payment status of your psychological testing session. Such miscommunications can arise from the intricate nature of insurance billing processes and are a common administrative challenge in healthcare practices. citeturn0search3Non-Responsiveness: Our recent inability to promptly respond to calls and emails is a direct result of being short-staffed and overwhelmed by administrative tasks. This situation has regrettably hindered our ability to communicate with our patients.Addressing Your ConcernsImproving Communication: We are actively working to bolster our administrative support to ensure more reliable and prompt responses to patient inquiries.Transparency in Billing: We are reviewing our billing practices to ensure clarity and prevent any unforeseen charges, such as the $150 "materials" fee you mentioned. Our goal is to provide comprehensive information upfront to avoid any misunderstandings.Use of AI in Documentation: We utilize HIPAA-compliant AI technologies to assist with documentation. However, these tools are designed to support, not replace, the clinical judgment of our professionals. We are committed to ensuring that all information in your reports is accurate and reflective of your personal history. These AI tools assist with tasks such as note-taking and report generation, aiming to improve efficiency and accuracy. However, it's important to recognize that, like any system—including human judgment—AI can occasionally produce errors. Therefore, our professionals diligently review all AI-generated information to ensure it accurately reflects your personal history and clinical findings. By combining advanced AI tools with meticulous human oversight, we strive to provide you with the highest quality of care, ensuring that your documentation is both precise and personalized.Alternative Options for Expedited ServicesWe understand the importance of timely evaluations and wish to inform you of alternative providers who offer expedited services. These providers operate on a private-pay basis, which allows for quicker turnaround times due to the absence of insurance-related administrative processes. However, it's important to note that this convenience comes at a higher cost.Cost of Services: The fees for comprehensive psychological evaluations with these private providers typically range from $4,750 to $10,600, depending on the scope and depth of the assessment. These rates reflect the extensive nature of the evaluations and the expedited service provided.Advantages: Opting for a private-pay provider can result in a more personalized experience with shorter wait times. Without the constraints of insurance protocols, these providers can often offer a "white glove" approach, tailoring their services to your specific needs and ensuring a swift process.For your convenience, we have compiled a list of such providers on our website. We are also available to discuss these options with you and provide referrals to ensure you receive the care you need in a timely manner.Your Rights and Next StepsWe understand your frustration and are committed to resolving these issues promptly. If you feel that your concerns are not being adequately addressed, you have the right to file a grievance with your insurance provider or the appropriate regulatory bodies.Please accept our sincere apologies for the distress these issues have caused. We value your trust and are dedicated to improving our services to better meet your needs.Sincerely,[Your Name][Your Position]Clarity PsychologicalHere's a draft of an Informed Consent Agreement Regarding Public Reviews and Confidentiality for your practice. This document ensures that patients understand the implications of publicly sharing information about their care.Informed Consent Agreement Regarding Public Reviews and ConfidentialityAt Clarity Psychological Testing, we are committed to maintaining the highest standards of confidentiality and professionalism in all our interactions with patients. However, it is important to understand that confidentiality is a mutual obligation, and patients who choose to publicly discuss their treatment waive certain protections under HIPAA and ethical confidentiality guidelines.Confidentiality and Public ReviewsBy signing below, I acknowledge and agree to the following:Confidentiality in the Therapeutic Relationship: Clarity Psychological Testing is legally and ethically bound to maintain patient confidentiality under HIPAA and professional ethical guidelines.

While the practice will still aim to uphold privacy to the extent possible, it reserves the right to provide necessary context to protect its professional reputation.Constructive Resolution of Concerns: I acknowledge that if I have any concerns about my care, it is in my best interest to discuss them directly with Clarity Psychological Testing rather than posting on social media. The practice welcomes feedback and will make every effort to address concerns professionally and appropriately.Acknowledgment of Professional and Legal Standards: I understand that Clarity Psychological Testing cannot control or remove patient-generated online content but reserves the right to take appropriate steps to protect its reputation and integrity, including but not limited to providing clarifications or pursuing legal remedies in the case of false or defamatory statements.By signing below, I confirm that I have read, understand, and agree to these terms.
