Re: Charging me 500 dollars

These fees are often covered through benefits, so check it out with your provider. If you don’t have coverage through employment benefits, perhaps Blue Cross or another carrier may cover all or part of this for you. As well, those enrolled in social services may have access to no-cost evaluations. It may be worth checking in to some of these services in your area; if one call doesn’t have what you’re looking for, they may know of another resource.

The initial evaluation our son had was done by the school board psychologist a few years back, and did not cost us anything; however, the waiting list was so long, and when we asked if there was any way to speed things up, we were told that most private insurance would cover it. Not all plans do, and when this changed, we had a second, private evaluation done. It was so much more thorough than the original one that even if I had to pay on my own, I would have gladly done so.
