Can I ask my neuropsych this....

[Anonymous]

Dd 1 had a neuropsych evaluation done by an out of network provider at the out of pocket cost of $4,000. We have a $5,000 out of network deductible so we paid the whole cost . Dd2 is scheduled for a neuropsych evaluation in 2016 which will reset our out of network provider deductible. Can I ask the neuropsych to bill dd2 for 2015 so some of her evaluation will be covered?

No, that would be insurance fraud. But you probably could ask that part of the exam be done this month and finish the rest next year..

It would be far better to find an in network provider instead if you don't want to front the cost.

Good luck with that.

Please share your recommendations for in-network providers for neuropsych exams. We're all waiting with baited breath.

Most private practices do not take insurance but you can try Children's center for autism spectrum disorders, Lauren kenworthy's group. It also depends on your insurance and whether your child has a diagnosis.

DD had an evaluation done by an in network provider 3 years ago and a second one by the out of network provider. The out of network providers evaluation and report was MUCH MUCH MUCH more through and helpful.

Children's Hospital and Kennedy Krieger are in network for our Carefurst plan. Whether the neuropsych is fully covered depends, as PP said, on why it is being done.

These providers do have very long wait lists. It is a trade off.

Actually, my Carefirst took Children's off the list. We're down to Kennedy Krieger. I put in an inquiry 4 months ago and haven't even received the email information sheets that they promised. I expect it to take a couple of years but don't have money for an out of network provider.

Weinfeld Education Group charged us 3,500 for the Neuropsych and that was with a classroom observation.
