Fees
Beginning the process of a comprehensive evaluation or therapy is a big decision. At The Neurodevelopmental Collective, we want families to feel supported from the very start. Our services are designed to give you clarity, confidence, and a plan that makes sense for your child and family.
Families often share that while the upfront cost feels significant, a thoughtful evaluation actually saves money and stress in the long run by:
-
Preventing years of trial-and-error with services that don’t fit
-
Giving schools a clear roadmap, reducing the need for repeated testing
-
Helping families focus resources on the supports that will truly help their child thrive
All comprehensive evaluations and IQ-only assessments are completed directly by Dr. Jessica Snowden Patel, Ph.D., M.J., who brings over 20 years of clinical experience and a neurodiversity-affirming approach.
Understanding Insurance & Reimbursement
At The Neurodevelopmental Collective, we are an out-of-network provider and do not bill insurance directly. We understand that navigating insurance can be overwhelming, and we’re here to help you understand your options.
Many families are able to receive partial reimbursement for services through their insurance provider. While we do not communicate with insurance companies directly at any stage, we will provide a detailed superbill and a comprehensive evaluation report, which are typically sufficient for reimbursement if your plan includes out-of-network benefits.
