[quote=Anonymous]Generally a provider of OT and other therapies can do their own diagnosis for insurance purposes. For all the talk about “neuropsychs” that kind of extensive testing is not actually necessary to get services and get them covered by insurance. The school testing might be helpful in getting started but not necessary. For example if you think your child has fine motor issues you can take them directly to an OT covered by your insurance and they will do the OT assessment. Likewise for therapy or psychiatrist, they will determine a diagnostic code for insurance billing. The big issue for insurance is whether the service is educational or medical. As I understand it, something like dyslexia is considered educational so would not be covered by insurance (no matter how it is diagnosed). But fine motor skills could be considered medical. [/quote]
