Does insurance cover the cost of a therapeutic assessment?
Payment for assessments is due at the time the service is provided cash, check, or Visa/MasterCard.Because of the ever-changing ways that insurance benefits provide for behavioral and mental health services, coverage can only be determined when you contact your insurance company. Often, reimbursement is not completely determined until a diagnosis and list of provided services have been processed by the insurance company.
A statement with all of the necessary information and codes is
provided so that you may apply for reimbursement directly from your
insurance company. Some have obtained reimbursements from their flex
or health savings plans when their medical insurance coverage has
denied the claim. All costs that are not reimbursed are fully
deductible as medical expenses for income tax purposes.
