FEES
We charge $695 for an ADHD or Autism evaluation and $795 for a combined assessment of ADHD and Autism. Dr. Sachs charges $350 for individual therapy or coaching. We accept credit cards. More on our fees.
You can cancel your appointment at any time. But if you cancel less than 24 hours before the appointment, you will be responsible for the entire fee. This is necessary because we are making a time commitment that is held exclusively for you. If you are late for a session, you may lose some of that evaluation or session time. A $25.00 service charge will be retained from all refunds due to credit card processing fees.
The Sachs Center does not take insurance, Medicaid, or Medicare, but we will provide you with an invoice with the appropriate insurance codes for you to seek reimbursement if you have out-of-network benefits. More on insurance.
The CPT code for our 2-hour evaluation is 90791 and 99417.
The diagnostic code for ADHD is F90.2 and the code for Autism is F84.0.
These are the CPT insurance codes we use on our invoices for our neuropsychological testing: 90791, 96132, 96133, 96133, 96137, 96136
GENERAL
TESTING
Thank you for trusting the Sachs Center with your (or your loved one’s) diagnostic evaluation.
It is natural to be nervous before the evaluation. You may want to know who is your psychologist, what will they ask, what tests they you give, and what happens during the two hours. This anxiety is very common with Autism in particular. So you are in the right place.
All of our psychologists were hired for their expertise in ADHD and Autism. They are all very compassionate and knowledgeable in diagnosing Autism and ADHD, particularly in girls, women, and non-binary adults, who may mask more than others.
The evaluation begins with a short description of what will happen during the 2 or 2.5 hours (if you’re being tested for both ADHD and Autism).
Then your psychologist will begin the clinical interview, asking you questions about your current and past symptoms. Feel free to share any information you may have written down during this part of the assessment.
Then your psychologist will begin the testing portion of the evaluation, giving you a series of tests. We also screen for Anxiety and Depression. If a parent is present, the parent will also fill out questionnaires for their child. Following the testing, your psychologist will “crunch the numbers” and give you their diagnostic impression. This is an official diagnosis (if you or our loved one has one).
There will be plenty of time for questions. At the end, your psychologist will give you a letter indicating your diagnosis. You can use this letter to seek out other services like medication or to get accommodations. There is no report given at this evaluation. Just the letter. You will receive a superbill at the end of the month which has the appropriate insurance codes for you to seek reimbursement.
Here are the tests we often give for our evaluations. They are all scientifically validated.
Autism
- AQ
- Monotropism Questionnaire
- CATQ
- EQ
- Aspie Quiz
- RAADS
- Others depending on age
ADHD:
- Brown EF/A
- DREF EF
- BASC-3
- Others depending on age
This letter WILL NOT be accepted when applying for accommodations in a university or on standardized tests like the SAT, LSAT, GMAT, BAR or MCAT exams. You will be rejected by them if you send a letter. In the case that you want accommodations in a university or on a standardized test, you need a full 8-hour neuropsychological assessment, which culminates in 25-page report. If you need this, please contact us for more information on our pricing.
To receive accommodations, you would need a neuropsychological evaluation. The neuropsychological evaluations are eight hours long, intensive, and consist of many tests (memory, IQ, executive functioning, processing speed). Aside from tests of cognitive and academic performance, these evaluations include clinical interviews with clients and families. All the information gathered is utilized to provide an in-depth overview of your cognitive strengths and weakness. The neuropsychological testing culminates in a 25-page report, which you can use to seek accommodations.
The Sachs Center provides both diagnostic and neuropsychological evaluations.
