We don't have many mental health professionals in our area. I was wondering how I find a neuropsychologist close to home. Also, does insurance cover them? or is the evaluation an out of pocket expense? I work for the University hospital and looked for a neuropsychologist and couldn't find one. He currently goes to a place that is covered 100% with-our insurance. He has seen a neurologist in the past. But, he's a real jerk and we quit going there. He really doesn't have a grip on psychiatric stuff in my humble opinion. He rx'd lexapro when difficult child was 3 1/2 yrs old. The pharmacist freaked out on me when I went to fill it. I called to talk to the nurse about it and they never called me back. So, we looked for a new doctor. Ended up where we are now. The psychiatrist he sees in the group is the only one that sees peds patients. I want a 2nd opinion, but just not sure where to go that won't cost a fortune. We've had a hard year at our house. My husband has had 2 back surgeries this year. One he didn't get paid while he was out recovering....
Thanks
