[QUOTE="confuzzled, post: 556692, member: 8831"] terry, not really. some testing is really of an educational nature...not neurological. what bunny was told is true of many private insurances--they will only cover things that are related to a medical diagnosis. it may be easier to get it covered if you are looking at a stroke victim or a brain injury or something with a medical basis--often if you are looking for a learning disability it can be pretty tough to convince an ins. co. to pay--its really the schools responsibility, Know what I mean??. another route to a thorough evaluation can sometimes be to let the school evaluate--disagree and request an independent educational evaluation with specific suspected areas of testing needed--the school is obligated to pay and it may be more objective. but if one was looking at, say, a suspected Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI) or mini stroke or something like that, then a letter of medical necessity from a dr may take care of the insurance issue if it isnt automatic...as those would be medical issues. it can be cost prohibitive for those whos ins. doesnt cover it.
