At PALS, we operate as an out-of-network provider with all insurance panels and do not directly bill insurance companies. However, we strive to support our clients in seeking reimbursement. Upon request, we are happy to provide a Superbill that you can submit to your insurance company. Please be aware that many insurance providers require preauthorization before in-person testing can begin. Our PALS team is committed to supporting you throughout this process: we will help complete any required preauthorization paperwork and submit it to your insurance provider on your behalf. Additionally, our providers are available to assist with any additional necessary documentation—please ensure that you supply the appropriate forms to your PALS provider.

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.

• 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.
