Fees

The responsibility for covering the cost of an evaluation depends on the referral source and the nature of the case.

Forensic Evaluations

In forensic cases, the requesting party (such as an attorney, insurance company, or court) is responsible for all fees associated with the evaluation. CFNA does not accept payment directly from examinees when retained by a third party, and we do not work on a contingency or lien basis. Fees for forensic evaluations are invoiced directly to the retaining party per the terms of our engagement agreement.

Clinical Evaluations/Academic Accommodations Evaluations

For clinical evaluations, the examinee (or their designated responsible party) is responsible for the cost of the evaluation.

CFNA is out-of-network and is not contracted with any insurance panels. We do not accept or bill insurance directly.

Comprehensive neuropsychological evaluations require extensive time, specialized expertise, and individualized attention to produce meaningful diagnostic clarity and clinically useful recommendations. We believe this level of thoroughness is best delivered without the administrative constraints, shortened session limits, and pre-authorization hurdles that often accompany in-network care. For these reasons, among others, CFNA believes that an out-of-network model best serves our patients’ needs.

CFNA charges a flat-rate fee for clinically referred cases that includes all components of the evaluation, with no hidden or surprise charges. his flat fee includes a thorough review of records, a comprehensive clinical interview with the examinee and, when appropriate and with consent, with family members or close contacts, face-to-face neuropsychological testing, scoring of test results, interpretation of findings, preparation of a detailed written report, and a discussion of results with the examinee and/or the referral source. Because the scope of each evaluation varies considerably from case to case, hourly billing introduces unpredictability and can result in costs that far exceed a flat rate. Our flat-fee structure ensures that every patient knows exactly what to expect from the start.

For patients who meet certain qualifications, a payment plan may be requested to help make services more accessible.
