Psychological services are not covered by OHIP. Many private insurance plans do cover psychological assessment, and/or therapy. Fees are paid at the time of appointment, and a receipt is provided. This receipt should be submitted for reimbursement by your insurance company. Please check with your insurance provider regarding details of your coverage.
I accept payment in the form of cash, email transfer, Visa or Mastercard.
A typical psychological assessment involves:
1) ability and achievement testing, conducted individually with the child (average: 6 hours)
2) collection/review of background information
3) parent/child/teacher interviews
4) administration and scoring of emotional/behavioural rating scales
5) scoring of tests (1-3 hours)
6) writing of a comprehensive report (5-7 hours)
7) feedback meeting (1 hour)
An hourly rate of $250 per hour is charged, thus, a typical assessment will cost approximately $3500 (based on 14 hours of service). More complex assessments require additional testing and scoring/report writing time. Various options are available regarding billing and payment, and can be discussed upon booking an appointment.
