How fees work
What people usually ask before booking an evaluation.
Insurance we work with
Plinth bills Original Medicare Part B for testing that is medically necessary, and works with some preferred-provider (PPO) plans as an out-of-network practice. We do not take Medicaid. Coverage for testing depends on your plan and on why it is ordered, so we check before the intake interview rather than after.

If you pay yourself
The fee is set by the step: the intake interview (60 minutes), the testing day (half a day, plus scoring and the written report), or a shorter follow-up testing visit. Each fee is written in your estimate before you start. You pay the interview fee at the visit and the rest when the testing day is booked. We hold a testing day for you, so we ask for 48 hours' notice to move it. HSA and FSA cards work.
Receipts for reimbursement
We give you an itemized receipt (a superbill) with the dates and the kind of visit, which your plan may use to reimburse part of out-of-network care. The plan decides what it pays, so ask it before you start. The receipt carries a diagnosis code that your insurer can see.
An estimate in advance
If you pay without insurance, you have the right to receive a written good faith estimate of what your care will cost before you start. We send one before the intake interview. If the final bill is $400 or more above the estimate, you can dispute it. The estimate is not a contract.
Checking your benefits
Our office checks your Medicare or plan benefits before the intake interview and tells you what you can expect to owe. Call your plan as well and ask about neuropsychological testing: the answer can differ from one plan to the next.
