Testing Process
We require a referral to be tested, since this is usually required by your insurance company and it also helps us pair you with the provider who is the best fit. If you have a referral, you can email it to us at [email protected] or fax it to us at (703) 935-0057. If you need a referral, please reach out to us at [email protected] or at (703) 935-0058 to get paired with one of our therapists. We generally require at least three sessions with a therapist prior to providing a referral. Referrals are based on the provider’s clinical judgment that testing is medically necessary.
After the initial intake, your testing psychologist will create a custom testing plan and determine which testing batteries are best suited to your unique situation. You will then be scheduled for a testing session, which usually takes approximately four hours and can take place over two sessions if additional testing is needed.
Once the testing session and all questionnaires are completed, your testing psychologist will prepare your comprehensive testing report that details your history and the results of your evaluation as well as treatment recommendations. This can take up to six weeks.
We will schedule a feedback session after your testing report is complete. During your feedback session, the provider will review your results with you and answer any questions you may have. We are unable to release the report prior to your feedback session to ensure that the results are understood clearly.
Can I use Insurance for Psychological Testing and Evaluations?
We are in-network with Anthem, Blue Cross Blue Shield, CIGNA, and United Healthcare.
*Please note that we are not in-network with Medicare and Medicaid.
Most insurances will cover testing if it is medically necessary. This is why a referral is necessary. Some insurances do have limitations on the type of testing you are eligible, for example, some insurances only cover in-person testing.
We highly recommend calling your insurance company to ask if they will cover testing and whether it needs to be in-person or if the testing can be virtual. When you call, ask about the following CPT Codes: 96130, 96131, 96132, 96133, 96136, and 96137.
*When you call, please get the representatives’ name and a reference number for the call in case they later state the sessions are not covered.
How do I schedule a psychological evaluation?
You can contact our office by phone 703-935-0058, email us at [email protected], or by using a contact form. Both are available here.
