Psychological Testing

My psychological testing services utilize objective and subjective instruments to integrate qualitative and quantitative data to answer diagnosis questions and develop individualized recommendations.

I conduct psychological testing and evaluation services to better understand:

Intellectual functioning (e.g., Intellectual Disability, gifted)

Learning abilities and disabilities (e.g., Attention-Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder, Specific Learning Disorders, Autism Spectrum Disorder)

Social-emotional, personality, and behavioral functioning

Diagnostic clarification

All testing services start with an intake session, followed by assessment testing sessions (scheduled across several days or weeks), and end with a feedback session including a written report with testing scores and recommendations.

What is the process for psychological testing?

Dr. Fox will first meet with the patient for an initial 90-minutes evaluation to collect background information, determine in psychological testing is warranted, and evaluate the fit between the patient and Dr. Fox. Sometimes psychological testing is not appropriate, and related referrals and recommendations will be provided.

Following the initial evaluation, Dr. Fox will begin collecting and reviewing records and self-report surveys, consulting with other psychologists and professionals, and developing the patient's assessment plan. The patient's in-person testing appointments will then be scheduled.

After the in-person testing appointments are completed, Dr. Fox will review records, score tests, interpret the results, and write the patient's psychological report, including specific recommendations.

Once the patient's psychological report is complete, Dr. Fox will meet with the patient and their family (if appropriate) to explain the results and recommendations.

This process takes time and patience to collect documentation and develop your assessment battery, and score and interpret the findings. Dr. Fox asks that patients and their families consider this.

Does Dr. Fox accept insurance for psychological testing?

Dr. Fox does not bill insurance directly for psychological testing. Dr. Fox will provide patients with documentation of itemized charges that can be submitted to insurance plans for reimbursement and credited toward out-of-pocket benefits.

What are Dr. Fox's self-pay rates for psychological testing?

The self-pay rate depends on the type of testing needed. The total rate includes the in-person testing sessions, Dr. Fox’s time required to read records, consultations with other psychologists and professionals, scoring of tests, interpreting the results, and any other activities to support these services. The rate also includes the feedback session to discuss results and recommendations.

How and when do I make payment for psychological testing services?

The fee for the psychological diagnostic intake appointment (60-90 minutes) is $225 and is due at the time of service. The fee for psychological testing is payable in two parts: a scheduling fee of $500.00 is expected before the testing appointment, and a second payment of the balance due on the completion and delivery of any report (or, for depositions, testimony, or other services, at the time these services take place).

Dr. Fox accepts payments by cash, check, or money order only. Payment plans are not available.

What is a Good Faith Estimate?

Dr. Fox provides Good Faith Estimates (GFE) as a part of the onboarding process for new patients and before an initial appointment is scheduled.

According to the law, health care providers need to give patients who do not have insurance or who are not using insurance an estimate of the bill for medical items and services

You have the right to receive a GFE for the total expected cost of any non-emergency items or services. This includes related costs like medical tests, prescription drugs, equipment, and hospital fees.
Make sure your health care provider gives you a Good Faith Estimate in writing at least 1 business day before your medical service or item. You can also ask your health care provider, or any other provider you choose, for a GFE before you schedule an item or service.
If you receive a bill that is at least $400 more than your GFE, you can dispute the bill.
Make sure to save a copy or picture of your Good Faith Estimate.

For questions or more information about your right to a GFE, visit www.cms.gov/nosurprises or call 1-800-985-3059.
