[quote=Anonymous]We recently went through this.  Our DC has ADHD so that was part of the testing.  We decided to go out of network with Mindwell after getting some completely useless (and probably inaccurate) testing with an in-network psychologist that I don't often see recommended on DCUM.  At the intake meeting, we went over why we wanted testing and what his areas of strength and weakness are.  Out of that intake meeting, his psychologist was able to put together the battery of tests that would be most effective.  You really don't want to opt out of completeness because your recommendations will be much less effective (that was part of the problem with the in-network testing).  After completing the testing, we received the receipt with all of the testing with individual codes.  We were advised to submit it as "psychological testing" and to not use the word "education".  We're still awaiting processing of our claim.

FWIW, I felt the cost for going out-of-network was well justified by their thoroughness and the depth and detail in the report and recommendations.
