Private-Pay Fee

$8,160 for the comprehensive evaluation described above.

The fee includes the interview, testing, scoring and interpretation, feedback, and comprehensive written report. Additional forms, letters, consultations, or services beyond this scope may involve separate fees, discussed before proceeding.

Self-pay patients receive a Good Faith Estimate. A superbill is available when appropriate for potential out-of-network reimbursement; reimbursement depends on your plan and the purpose of the evaluation.

Insurance & Payment

We participate in networks associated with the following insurers:

  • Aetna
  • Optum / UnitedHealthcare
  • Cigna / Evernorth
  • Anthem Blue Cross
  • Blue Shield of California

Participation varies by specific plan, network, service location, and benefit administrator. A carrier’s name on this list does not mean every plan is in-network. California and New York participation may differ. We verify your individual benefits and provide an estimated out-of-pocket range before scheduling.

  • Medi-Cal: Please contact our office to verify participation for your specific program or managed-care plan. We do not participate in every Medi-Cal plan.
  • Other plans: Out-of-network or private-pay options may be available. A superbill can be provided when appropriate.
  • Payment: Major credit/debit cards and HSA/FSA funds, subject to your account’s eligibility rules.

Benefits verification and prior authorization do not guarantee payment. Your insurer determines final coverage and patient responsibility when claims are processed.

Read our insurance benefit guide for questions to ask your insurer.

Evaluation Timeline

After testing, scoring and clinical integration typically take approximately 2–3 weeks. Feedback is scheduled after results are ready, subject to appointment availability. The final written report is typically completed approximately 2–3 weeks after feedback.

These are estimated timeframes. Case complexity, additional records, collateral information, and scheduling may affect timing. If you have a school, exam, or other deadline, please tell us before scheduling.

Priority Processing: An optional private-pay service may be available to prioritize scoring, integration, report preparation, and earlier feedback scheduling when feasible. An additional fee applies and is disclosed before purchase. Priority Processing does not guarantee a completion date, a diagnosis, or approval of accommodations, and it cannot be billed to insurance.
How insurance billing works

Insurance billing may include separate dates or components for the clinical interview, test administration and scoring, professional interpretation and report preparation, and feedback. Your estimated responsibility depends on your plan’s deductible, copay, coinsurance, and coverage rules.

  • Before your deductible is met: You may owe the plan’s allowed amounts until the applicable deductible is satisfied.
  • After your deductible is met: Copays or coinsurance may still apply to covered services.
  • Medical versus behavioral health: Plans may process neuropsychological services under different benefits, which can affect network status and cost.
  • Authorization: Some plans require prior authorization or other review before services can proceed.
  • Out-of-network: Reimbursement, if available, depends on your plan. A superbill does not guarantee reimbursement.

We provide an estimated range using the information available before services. Final coverage and patient responsibility are determined by your insurer after claim processing.

Evaluations for school, work, or testing accommodations

A clinical evaluation may include school or workplace recommendations when supported by the findings. Please tell us about any documentation needs or deadlines during intake so we can review the intended purpose before scheduling.

Evaluations requested primarily to document accommodations for the GRE, bar examination, or another standardized testing or licensing organization are handled through our private-pay accommodations evaluation service. The comprehensive evaluation fee is $8,160. We do not bill this service to insurance.

Each organization has its own documentation requirements. Please provide its current requirements before scheduling. Separate forms or additional documentation may require further review and additional fees.

Recommendations depend on the clinical findings. The school, employer, or testing organization makes the final accommodation decision; evaluation does not guarantee a particular diagnosis or accommodation approval.

Additional forms, letters, and professional time

Your comprehensive report is included in the evaluation fee. Requests for separate accommodation forms, disability paperwork, letters, consultations, or other work beyond the evaluation’s included scope are reviewed individually.

Additional professional time is billed at $375 per hour when applicable. Our office will explain the proposed scope and fees before proceeding.

Please disclose attorney involvement, legal proceedings, or a forensic purpose before scheduling. Forensic matters require separate review, terms, and fees and are not billed to insurance.

Telehealth and in-person appointments

Telehealth evaluations are available to appropriate patients located in California or New York. Dr. Heimberg reviews whether the format is suitable for your referral questions and clinical needs.

In-person appointments are offered only in Calabasas, California, with limited availability and a waitlist. These appointments are prioritized for patients with dementia or related clinical needs. New York services are provided by telehealth.

Cancellation and rescheduling
  • Evaluation appointments: At least 72 business hours’ notice is required. Late cancellations are subject to 50% of the scheduled appointment fee; no-shows are subject to the full scheduled appointment fee.
  • Feedback appointments: At least 24 hours’ notice is required. Late cancellations or no-shows are subject to a $375 fee.

Please contact the office promptly if you need to change an appointment. Your intake agreement provides the full cancellation and payment terms.
