We have a dedicated team at Mountain Ridge Behavioral Health Center providing evaluations to meet a variety of needs. Our providers are able to conduct ADHD assessments, diagnose academic learning disorders, conduct Autism evaluations, comprehensive evaluations/diagnostic clarification, and conduct pre-surgical mental health evaluations (such as for gender affirmation, bariatric, or spinal procedures).

DESCRIPTION OF ASSESSMENTS:

ADHD Assessment (6+ years): ADHD may appear differently in children/adolescents and adults. Common symptoms for children and adolescents include: difficulty maintaining focus on one specific task, not listening when spoken to, struggling to follow directions, forgetting to complete or submit homework assignments, and difficulty engaging in quiet or calm activities. Common ADHD symptoms for adults include: problems with planning and organization, difficulty paying attention, misplacing items, restlessness, and difficulty initiating and completing tasks. Proper diagnosis and treatment of ADHD can help significantly reduce and sometimes completely eliminate the symptoms.
Cost: $1,400.00

Autism Evaluation (6+ years): Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) impacts several areas of an individual’s life. Our providers use evidenced-based methodologies to assess relevant cognitive processes, behaviors, and social/emotional symptoms to differentiate Autism from other mental health conditions that impact similar areas of functioning. In addition to other assessment measures, we use the Autism Diagnostic Observation Schedule Second Edition (ADOS-2) to assess and aid in Autism diagnosis, a tool most insurance companies require for patients to access certain services, such as speech and occupational therapy, or applied behavioral analysis (ABA).
Cost: $1,750.00

Psychoeducational Learning Disorder Evaluation (For children, adolescents, and young adults 25 years and younger): A test of intelligence and academic achievement helps our providers diagnose a learning disorder. These evaluations are helpful to support an IEP or 504 plan, or academic accommodations. Parents of children with behavioral or other psychological challenges may consider a Comprehensive Psychological Evaluation to best determine behavioral interventions and recommendations for school.
Cost: $1,750.00

Customized Psychological Evaluation: We offer customized psychological assessments tailored to your unique needs. Whether you require testing for Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD), Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD), Learning Disabilities, or a combination, we can integrate multiple areas of evaluation into a single, streamlined assessment.
Cost: Starts at $1,050.00
* With final pricing based on the specific evaluations needed to comprehensively answer your concerns. A personalized quote will be provided during your consultation call. We understand that new insights can emerge during the testing process, sometimes indicating the need for additional assessments. To ensure full transparency and protect you from unexpected costs, any recommended changes will be openly discussed. Additional testing will only be conducted with your informed consent and a clear explanation of any potential cost adjustments.

Pre-Surgical Evaluation (18+ years): Before a patient can undergo surgery (e.g. gender affirming, bariatric procedures, or spinal cord stimulators, etc.), the insurance company may require the patient to undergo a mental health evaluation to help determine their mental state before the procedure.. These psychological evaluations may include a discussion about your personal life through an interview and assessment of your mental health history, your expectations undergoing the procedure, and any lifestyle factors that may complicate the long-term success of the procedure; as well as completing a battery of psychological questionnaires, personality tests, and any other screeners the psychologist deems appropriate. The psychologist may also request to review applicable medical records. Once the evaluation has been completed, a report would be written and would include any recommended treatment that would help improve the outcome of the surgical procedure.
Cost: $1,050.00

COST STRUCTURE:

The prices for these assessments may vary based on the individual needs of the patient, the purpose of the evaluation, and the tests the evaluator decides to use in order to provide the most comprehensive answers to your questions. The cost of assessments start at $1,050.00, but the total cost will be determined on each patient’s specific needs during the phone consultation.

* COST VARIES BASED ON NEEDS OF INDIVIDUAL ASSESSMENT. PLEASE CONTACT OUR OFFICE TO BE SCHEDULED A PHONE CONSULTATION TO BE ABLE TO DETERMINE COST AND APPROPRIATE ASSESSMENT.

For patients who would like to use their insurance, our office can provide a receipt of payment/superbill and any other documentation needed to be reimbursed directly by the insurance company.

NON-REFUNDABLE DEPOSITS:

A non-refundable deposit of 15% of the total assessment cost is required to schedule an assessment. This deposit is applied to the total assessment cost.

Please Note: Our providers often schedule out months in advance. To protect their time, the 15% deposit is non-refundable once the assessment has been scheduled. Additionally, if a patient needs to reschedule, the assessment must be completed within 30 days from the original scheduled assessment date. If the assessment is not completed within this timeframe, a new 15% deposit will be required, and the original deposit will not be applied towards the total cost of the assessment.
