ADHD & Neuropsychological Evaluations, Dallas, Texas

We are in-network for evaluations with Aetna, Cigna, and United HealthCare PPO.  All other insurance providers and plans are considered out-of-network.  We also take private-pay clients. 

Most insurance plans have deductibles, copays, and/or coinsurance.  Some plans will consider the extent of testing that is needed to clarify diagnosis and help with intervention planning as "not medically necessary" and will deny all or part of the claim. This results in the expense of testing being the responsibility of the family. You are welcome to use your Health Savings or Flexible Spending accounts. When insurance has denied charges, the family will only owe the contract rate that the insurance company would have paid or will be responsible for a predetermined total for services that were mutually agreed upon prior to the start of testing. In-network rates for Aetna, BCBS, Cigna, or United Healthcare and itemized out-of-network rates will be discussed prior to the onset of testing. 

If you plan on using your health insurance to help pay for the evaluation, you must allow us to tell the Managed Care Organization (MCO) about you or your child's problem or problems and give you or your child a psychiatric diagnosis. You must also permit us to tell the MCO about the treatment we are providing, about you or your child's progress during treatment, and about how you or your child are doing in many areas of life. 

We will send your claim to your insurance company to check if the evaluation cost can be reimbursed through your out-of-network benefits if requested. We don't handle pre-authorizations or call your insurance company for you. We work with a company called Reimbursify and cover their fee. You will receive an email from Reimbursify asking you to create your account (at no cost). We will then send you an email that includes your out-of-network benefits, such as your deductible and reimbursement rate. After your visit, we will submit your claim. If you have questions about your claim, please contact Reimbursify at https://reimbursify.com/contact-us-patients/.

Yes, the evaluation testing typically takes a full day. This comprehensive approach ensures we gather thorough and accurate information about your child's needs. The process includes a variety of neuropsychological assessments, including cognitive, learning and memory, executive functioning, and continuous performance tests. Other assessments, such as autism, language, and dyslexia/learning disorder tests are conducted as needed. This extensive testing allows us to provide a detailed and accurate diagnosis.

Your appointment times will be communicated to you before your appointment, but most of our appointments are from 9.30 to 10.00 am until 4.30 to 6.00 pm. 

No, you do not need to be there all day. You will be present for the initial interview in the morning and will return to pick up your child for lunch. Our team will discuss the morning’s findings during the lunch break and plan the afternoon sessions. You will return at the end of the day to pick up your child and discuss any immediate observations.

Lunch breaks will usually be between 12:30 and 1:30 pm.

Yes, your child will get breaks throughout the day, including a break for lunch. We also provide snacks to ensure they are comfortable and well-cared for during the evaluation. These breaks help your child stay relaxed and focused during the testing.

Please let us know if your child has any food allergies or intolerances. In that case, you may want to bring snacks for your child. 

Most tests are administered by master’s and doctoral-level graduate students under the supervision of Dr. Simpson. Dr. Simpson conducts some of the more specialized assessments to ensure the highest level of accuracy and care. Additionally, Dr. Simpson conducts the morning interview, observes you or your child throughout the day, interviews your child, and provides a review of the results with you at the end of the day.

During the lunch break and at the end of the evaluation session, our students report back to Dr. Simpson to discuss their findings. Based on the test results, her interviews, and her observations of you or your child throughout the day, Dr. Simpson creates a plan of action.

Graduate student training is an essential part of our mission. All current master's and doctoral-level clinicians receive their training in the same way. We are dedicated to ensuring that future experts get the training they need to provide the best care to their clients. 

Our Masters and Doctorate level graduate students in psychology and related fields (from Southern Methodist University, the Chicago School of Professional Psychology, Texas Women's University, Texas A&M Commerce University). Dr. Simpson was fortunate to be trained at Metrocare Services, UT Southwestern Neuropsychology, Baylor Institute of Rehabilitation, Child Neuropsychology and Counseling Center, and Spectra Therapies while a student at Southern Methodist University. Their student involvement allows for detailed attention to each case, benefiting from both fresh academic knowledge and practical expertise. 

You can expect to receive the detailed report with the evaluation results and treatment recommendations within 3-4 weeks after the testing. This time allows us to analyze the results thoroughly and provide comprehensive recommendations.

Absolutely. At the end of the evaluation, Dr. Simpson reviews the results of the evaluation with you in detail. We will explain the results, answer any questions you may have, and outline the recommended next steps to support your child effectively.

After you receive the results, we will provide a clear and actionable treatment plan based on the evaluation. This may include recommendations for therapy, educational strategies, and other interventions tailored to your child's specific needs. We are committed to supporting you through the entire process, ensuring you have the guidance and resources needed to help your child thrive.
