Psychological testing involves administration, scoring, and interpretation of tests; it also requires the psychologist to prepare a written report and meet with parents to review the results. The cost for a full assessment is determined by the total number of hours required by the psychologist(s) to complete the full evaluation process from testing time with your child to results review session with you.
Typically, a full assessment will range from $1800 to $3600, depending on the battery of tests required. Your psychologist will discuss this during your intake evaluation, and determine how to proceed with your budget, benefits, and child’s needs in mind.
If paying out-of-network or privately, a partial payment is required on the day of testing, with the balance due at your results review appointment. If we will be billing your insurance, the “patient portion” (copay, coinsurance or an applicable deductible) will be due at the start of your appointments. Currently we are billing for Premera/ Lifewise, Regence, Medicare, and First Choice Network plans for these services. If your plan is not one of these, you will pay the full cost of the assessment, then submit the required information to your plan for reimbursement to you.
*Some providers have higher rates depending on their availability and licensure, please inquire about the rate your therapist may charge for private pay clients.
