School psychologists typically have master's degrees and administer psychoeducational evaluations through school districts to determine eligibility for educational services. This often includes an IQ test and academic achievement testing. Generally, school psychologists cannot diagnose clinical conditions (including learning disorders) or make treatment recommendations.
In some cases, a more comprehensive clinical assessment may be helpful. As an NJ Certified School Psychologist, I can administer a psychoeducational, psychological or neuropsychological evaluation that is typically accepted by most public/private schools, colleges, and graduate schools. However, policies vary significantly. Please see "About" for additional information on evaluation types.
The federal "No Surprises Act" (NSA) went into effect on 1/1/2022. Under Section 2799B-6 of the Public Health Service Act, health care providers and facilities are required to inform individuals who are not enrolled in a plan of coverage or Federal health care program, or not seeking to file a claim with their plan both orally and in writing of their ability, upon request or at the time of scheduling health care items and services, to receive a "Notice" and “Good Faith Estimate” (GFE) of expected charges. Please note: I provide an exact fee for services (i.e., not an estimate) prior to scheduling. I am an out-of-network provider and do not submit any paperwork, bills, or claims directly to insurers on behalf of patients. However, I provide extensive guidance on how to submit for reimbursement.
The NSA does not clearly specify whether provisions apply when a patient has health insurance, receives services from an out-of-network provider in a private practice setting, and intends to submit a claim to insurance for reimbursement. Until further guidance emerges, the Notice and GFE are provided below.
