Or, we’ll have to do another neuropsych after this one. And that will be $$$$ of course.

If you're getting an IEE, that likely means that you were denied an IEP after the school's evaluation. In that case, I can see why the evaluator might want your kid to be at his worst during the evaluation, to increase the chances of showing an impact. Unfortunately, you may need to choose between an evaluation that shows the need for an IEP and am evaluation that provides actual information.
I kind of worry for OP that this kind of thinking could backfire in that the school can say that the results are invalid. Regardless, I’d think the parents should be more involved in the process.
