There are many different kinds of psychological evaluations. The type of evaluation used depends on the referral question or the information required. Some types of evaluation are intellectual assessment, attention deficit disorder evaluation, drug and alcohol evaluation, personality assessment, parenting assessment. We are often asked to do evaluations for courts, schools, or other diagnostic purposes. An evaluation usually involves one or more hours of face to face interventions. It may include formal testing followed by a written report to the requesting agency. We charge for all of our time - face to face, testing, test scoring and interpretation and the writing of reports. Some insurance companies will NOT pay for these procedures especially if there is no diagnosis or an emotional problem. They may also not pay for some part of the process.
