Psychological/Neuropsychological testing can provide the data necessary for clinicians to diagnose conditions that are challenging to accurately identify with just a clinical interview. Psychological/Neuropsychological testing can help diagnose mental health conditions such as anxiety, depression, ADHD, personality disorders, and more.

Different tests can assess different area, such as cognitive skills, emotional regulation, social functioning, and more. This information can help with the development of an individualized treatment plan that addresses the individual’s specific needs and strengths.

Psychological/Neuropsychological testing can help determine the severity of symptoms, functional impairment, and subjective distress

Most of the time completion of psychological/neuropsychological testing can help individuals gain a better understanding of their own strengths and weaknesses, providing additional self-awareness that may assist in personal growth and development.

All patients seeking Testing Services need to complete an initial evaluation completed by one of our four psychologists. Each evaluation is estimated to last 60 minutes and billed to the provided insurance company using CPT 90791.

The initial evaluation process helps to determine if testing is indicated and orders will be submitted accordingly.

CPT codes billed together at the final appointment date could include a combination of the following:

Testing: 96136, 96137, 96138, 96139

Reporting: 96130, 96131, 96132, 96133

Once the test orders have been created a Prior Authorization will be sent to your insurance if required. The prior authorization process may take up to two full weeks. Once a determination has been received a financial estimate will be formulated and provided to you prior to beginning the testing process.

Test administration is determined by many factors like age, cognitive abilities, and/or symptomatic concerns. Every patient’s testing orders are tailored to their individual needs. The clinician will discuss total administration time with you at the clinical interview.

Tests are administered in a one on one setting with a trained testing administrator. This is to ensure that the presence of another person does not affect the results of the testing process.

If you have additional questions, please feel free to contact our office at (208) 419-3002

Upon completing test administration, the clinician will formulate their results/report based on the data collected. This process is typically completed within 3-4 weeks from the completion of testing administration and an interpretive feedback session to go over all results will be scheduled.
