Keep in mind that many insurance companies do not reimburse for out of network providers.
- First 60 minute visit $200.
- Additional contact hours for testing or therapy $150 per hour
- Forensic fees: $300 per hour
For non-forensic psychological testing: This type of assessment can last from 1 to 8 hours, and may be spread over multiple days. Testing hours include face-to-face time between you and Dr. Williams during test administration. In addition, one or more of the testing hours may cover the time that Dr. Williams spends scoring and interpreting the test data, and generating a report. You will not be present during these times. This is similar to a situation where a doctor may read your MRI and generate a diagnostic report. You receive a bill for that doctor’s time, but you do not ever meet with this doctor.
Dr. Williams recommends the minimal amount of testing that seems needed to fulfill the purpose listed above. Sometimes initial tests are inconclusive. If this occurs, additional testing may be needed. If this situation arises, she will explain what else she recommends, and the additional costs associated with this before proceeding.
