FEES & INSURANCE
At PALS, we operate as an out-of-network provider with all insurance panels. Please be advised that we do not directly bill insurance companies. However, we are happy to provide a Superbill upon request, which you can submit to your insurance company for potential reimbursement. If you are seeking reimbursement, please keep in mind that many insurance providers require preauthorization before in-person testing starts. Our PALS providers are ready to assist with any necessary documentation, but it's important for clients to ensure the correct forms are provided to the PALS provider. We do accept FSA & HSA Card Payments.
Before in-person testing, your PALS provider will give you a Welcome Letter and a Good Faith Estimate. These documents include essential information for your insurance provider, such as CPT codes, NPI numbers, the EIN, and diagnosis codes. It is essential you contact your insurance company for any questions regarding coverage.
Our evaluations are tailored to meet the unique concerns of each referral, leading to varied pricing. For estimated costs based on your specific referral needs, please refer to our services page.

*This is an estimated cost for a thorough initial psycho-educational evaluation designed to assess various needs such as ADHD, autism, and learning disorders. The evaluation process includes a Developmental Intake, in-person testing sessions and assessments, observations, a feedback session, a comprehensive psycho-educational report, and an instructional plan with recommendations. Before testing begins, you will receive a detailed Good Faith Estimate outlining the specific cost for your evaluation. Please note that the actual cost may vary based on your specific assessment needs. For reevaluations, unique circumstances, or personalized pricing, please contact us.
When is payment due?
We require a $150 non-refundable deposit to reserve your evaluation appointments, which will be credited towards your total bill.
Half of the remaining balance is due following the (Virtual) Developmental Intake Appointment.
The remaining balance is due 24 hours prior to the Feedback Appointment.
We recognize that testing can be a considerable financial commitment for families, but the consequences of a misdiagnosis can be even more costly. Typically, comprehensive testing is a one-time investment that can save both time and money in the future. An accurate assessment and diagnosis ensure that your resources are directed towards interventions and therapies that are truly beneficial for you or your child’s specific needs.
