Dear New Patient, You are scheduled for an initial evaluation on ___________. You will need to bring your child with you to these visits. Please bring your insurance card(s) to your visit initial visit. Your co-pay is expected at time of services as well as any deductible that applies. It is your responsibility to determine whether we are a provider for your insurance company. If you anticipate any problems with your insurance paying for these services arrangements can be made through this office to set up a payment plan. If Dr. Brewer is not listed as a provider with your plan, check with your human resources department. Because Dr. Brewer is one of few pediatric neuropsychologists in town, many plans give approval for her to be treated as an in-plan provider. We can assist you with this if needed. It is important to keep your appointment. If you are unable to make your appointment we need to know 48 hours in advance of your appointment. As our schedule is generally full weeks in advance, this allows us to place other patients in that time slot. Please come 15-20 minutes prior to your appointment to complete paperwork. The initial evaluation usually takes one hour. We reserve the right to reschedule anyone who arrives 30-40 minutes late for an appointment. If Dr. Brewer determines that neuropsychological testing is necessary, an appointment will be scheduled following your initial visit. The neuropsychological examination requires 3-6 consecutive hours of our patients time. To ensure that your services are rendered as soon as possible, please make any appointments prior to leaving our office. Please bring with you a referral from your primary care physician if required, referring physician records, school records, other records, or have them sent to us.
Sincerely, Staff of CPN

What is Neuropsychological Testing? Neuropsychological testing involves a battery of standardized tests given by a neuropsychologist to measure the way the brain functions. Neuropsychological evaluations are often used to detect neurologic diseases or the impact of damage to the brain on functioning. Additionally, Neuropsychologists are asked to monitor recovery or progression of central nervous system disorders. Who is a Neuropsychologist? A Neuropsychologist is an individual with training in the neurosciences and the administration of tests to measure brain-behavior relationships. Why does my doctor want me to have this done? Neuropsychological testing can help your doctor in diagnosing your illness,
planning your treatment or rehabilitation, and in determining if there have been any changes in the way your brain functions since a previous evaluation. While a CT or MRI can give information about the structure of the brain, and an EEG describes its electrical activity, Neuropsychological testing tells your doctor about how your brain is working in regard to higher brain functions. What can I expect the day of my evaluation? The typical evaluation takes 3 -6 hours to perform. No invasive procedures are involved. Will my insurance pay for this service? Neuropsychological services are considered by insurance companies a medical procedure. Most insurance companies will pay for this service. We will make efforts to determine your
coverage for this procedure and will file claims for you with the insurance company. Where will my test results go? After testing is completed, the results will be discussed with the doctor who referred you for testing and a report will be prepared and forwarded to your doctor's office. Additional Questions? If you have additional questions concerning this procedure, please feel free to contact us at 572-5220. Center for Pediatric Neuropsychology 777 Washington, Suite P235 Memphis, TN 38105 901-287-5220

Dear Parent, The evaluation is set up as a two part process. The first visit is designed to allow me to watch your child and get pertinent information from you so that I will know what we need to do and approximately how long it will take for us to do the evaluation. The second part is the evaluation by a technician. After the evaluation is completed, I will go through the process of interpreting the findings, writing the report, and making recommendations. You will need to schedule this when you come in for the evaluation. Billing for neuropsychological evaluations is done by calculating the number of hours for the actual evaluation, the time required to score and interpret, and the time required for writing the report and making recommendations. I have read and agree with the procedures for determining billing ___________________________ ______________________ Parent or guardian Date
