How to schedule an appointment
If using medical insurance, a referral must be sent to North Coast Neuropsychology by your medical or mental health provider. Referrals can be faxed to 510-280-2993. Once a referral is received, we will contact you to set up an appointment. Wait times for appointments are typically 3-4 months; however, expedited evaluations are scheduled in limited instances. You will be informed of any estimated costs prior to the evaluation date.
How long will the evaluation take?
Evaluations can last anywhere from 2 hours to a full day, depending on the type of evaluation and referral question. Some evaluations, especially for severely impaired and elderly individuals, may be conducted over several days.
What happens after the evaluation?
How much will this cost?
The cost of clinical diagnostic evaluations ranges from $1200 - $1800. In most instances, with a proper physician referral and authorization from your insurance company, the out-of-pocket cost will be substantially lower. Neuropsychological assessment is typically covered under your insurance plan's medical coverage when you are referred by a physician in order to establish a diagnosis as the basis for medical treatment, to evaluate the functional impact of a medical treatment, or to assist in selecting a treatment.
What forms of payment are accepted?
For clinical evaluations, we may accept insurance. Please contact for more information. For out-of-network evaluations, patients may submit a "super bill" to their insurance company. To assist, we can include appropriate CPT codes. Please check with your insurance for more specific coverage questions. Checks and credit cards are acceptable for co-pays and other payments.
For clinical evaluations, a report is generated within two weeks. Patients may return for a feedback session, during which the results and recommendations are shared. For non-clinical evaluations, a report is provided to the referring party typically within two weeks, but sometimes longer for QME/AME evaluations.
