Insurance
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 support you in understanding 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.
Please note:
-
Our evaluations are often more comprehensive than what insurance plans typically cover.
-
We do not:
-
Submit claims on your behalf
-
Call or coordinate with insurance companies
-
Appeal denied claims
-
Modify billing to match insurance rates
-
Provide additional documentation beyond the report and superbill
-
However, we are happy to complete a basic pre-authorization form if your insurance requires it.

Is prior authorization required?
-
Are there limitations based on the diagnosis (e.g., autism, ADHD, or learning concerns)?

What percentage of services will be reimbursed, and is there a cap based on "usual and customary" rates?

Important Reminders
-
We will provide a detailed superbill and the full evaluation report. These are typically enough for insurance submission.
-
If your insurance requests "session notes," they are usually referring to a copy of the comprehensive evaluation report.
-
The amount reimbursed may be lower than our fees. It’s important to ask your insurance provider if there is a cap on reimbursement based on their internal fee schedules.
-
We do not participate in single-case agreements.

Note: For IQ testing only, there is no diagnosis and this is not covered by insurance. A receipt will be provided but no superbill.
