Payment Information
Dr. McDonald does not take insurance, but does provide superbills for potential reimbursement, in the case that your insurance company covers our out-of-network services. This allows us to spend more time helping YOU. Insurance often doesn’t cover learning disorder testing anyway- so this saves us both time. Payment plans are available. Not taking insurance allows me to avoid arguing with a stranger over whether they’ll pay for testing and/or treatment. It also protects your confidentiality and privacy.
If you have a Flexible Savings Account (FSA) or Health Savings Account (HSA), you can use the card associated with that account to pay for testing services. You can also pay by check or credit card and submit your receipt for reimbursement.
Late cancellation/no-show fee for testing is $250 for testing appointments not cancelled prior to 48 hours before the appointment time. This is due to the fact that testing requires a day-long appointment. You will be required to complete all paperwork prior to 48 hours before the appointment and to keep a credit card on file.
Late cancellation/no-show fee is $75 for therapy appointments not cancelled prior to 24 hours before the appointment time.
You can submit your claim on your own for possible reimbursement. This is a work around for providers who are “out of network.” The general steps for this process are as follows:
01. Call your insurance company. Ask them about your out of network benefits and what your deductible is. Ask them about the percentage of the visit cost you might be reimbursed for.
02. We will provide you with a “superbill” after your testing is complete (or monthly for therapy clients). This provides you the CPT codes for our sessions and diagnostic codes.
03. Submit the superbill to your insurance company.
Payment Terms
* Dr. McDonald charges a flat fee for testing and an hourly rate for therapy. We accept cash, check, or credit card payments. A credit card on file is required to hold your appointment. Half of the testing fee is collected at intake, and the remainder at feedback.
