Who is a neuropsychological evaluation appropriate for?
A neuropsychological evaluation is appropriate for adults with memory concerns, cognitive changes, attention or organization difficulties, or any condition affecting brain function. It is also used for those needing documented cognitive capacity assessment for legal, estate planning, or medical purposes.
How long does the evaluation take?
There is a 2-hour interview, typically the day before the formal testing session, which itself lasts about six hours, and includes breaks. You will receive initial evaluation feedback about a week later in a 90-minute call, as well as an optional, highly recommended 60-minute feedback session 3-4 weeks after your evaluation.
The comprehensive in-person assessment lasts several hours, with breaks, totaling about six hours. The Rapid Neuropsych Consult is about three hours. The full process for the comprehensive evaluation, from initial consultation to report delivery, generally takes about four weeks.
How much do evaluations cost?
The Rapid Neuropsych Consult is offered at a fixed price of $1,750.
The comprehensive neuropsych evaluation is $5,500.
Do you accept insurance?
No. Idaho Neuropsychology is a self-pay practice. Payment is due at the time of service. Some patients submit a “super bill” to their insurance for potential out-of-network reimbursement, though Idaho Neuropsychology does not bill insurance directly and cannot guarantee reimbursement.
Important: Medicare does not allow for out of network reimbursement.
How soon can I be seen?
Most patients are seen within two to four weeks of contact. This is much faster than the four-to-six-month wait times common at insurance-based neuropsychology practices in Idaho.
Can I start with a telehealth consultation before traveling to Boise?
Yes. For patients coming from Sun Valley and the surrounding area, an initial phone consultation is available. This gives you an opportunity to speak with Dr. Black, review your history, and confirm that a neuropsychological evaluation is the right next step before making the trip.
Do you see patients from Sun Valley and the Wood River Valley?
Yes. Idaho Neuropsychology serves patients throughout Idaho, including those traveling from Sun Valley, Ketchum, and the broader Wood River Valley. To our knowledge, no neuropsychologists currently provide this level of specialized cognitive assessment in the Wood River Valley area.
