[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Op here. It seems like a neuropsych could be valuable, but with the right evaluator (which we can’t really gaurentee given we’d go through our insurance). I think that’s what makes this tricky. And knowing some people get the wrong diagnosis.

And I wouldn’t say we’re really struggling (generally happy) but do have some struggles/differences, still.[/quote]

Straight talk: Chances are in a year or two you’ll wish you had based on your original post. That’s my guess. And if insurance is covering it, just do it. [/quote]

Please stop giving blind advice to just do neuropsychological testing. I came here before we did ours and regretted it because we went unprepared. If you had a good experience, explain why it went well, so that OP can prepare properly before they do it if they decide to go forward.[/quote]

I cannot see a single downside to private neuropsych if insurance is paying for it. I guess the worst possible outcome is feeling like you wasted 6 hours of your life.[/quote]

Seriously? Are you a parent?

You cannot see a single downside of a potentially poorly done neuropsych that gives wrong conclusions or a wrong diagnosis?

If anyone is going to do a neuropsych, whether they pay out of pocket or through insurance, they need to do their homework before going in. You are advertising it as something that you just sign up for and it magically gives you all the answers you were looking for. And that you can just ignore results if they don’t make sense. [b]If you use insurance, and end up with a wrong diagnosis, that information will get recorded in the medical files.[/b][/quote]

What does this even mean? When has an insurance company having a particular diagnostic code harmed anyone?[/quote]

Before the Affordable Care Act, it could be life or death.[/quote]

And for the last 16+ years, it’s meant nothing…[/quote]
