PAYMENT PLANS
Evaluations Shouldn't Be Out of Reach
We know this is a significant investment. It reflects the reality of the work involved. Our pricing is designed so your evaluator can fully immerse themselves in your assessment from start to finish.
We’ve built in flexibility. Here’s how payment works: you can either pay in full or choose a payment plan spread over 3 or 6 months. If you’re paying in full, 50% of your total is due at your first evaluation session, and the remaining 50% is due at your feedback session — or when your report is delivered if you choose not to complete a feedback session.
A NOTE ON INSURANCE
Why Evaluations Aren't Covered by Insurance
Neurodevelopmental evaluations at Side Quest Psychotherapy are private pay — superbills are not provided and evaluations are not billed to insurance.
Insurance reimbursement for psychological testing is determined by specific CPT billing codes (such as 96130/96131 and related codes). These codes are defined around formal test administration, scoring, and interpretation of standardized cognitive and performance-based measures — including IQ testing, academic testing, and attention tasks — none of which are components of the neuroaffirming evaluation process at Side Quest Psychotherapy.
“Understanding your brain is one of the highest-return investments you can make — because it impacts every part of your life.”
