[QUOTE="DDD, post: 62540, member: 35"] Pick up the telephone and ask exactly what professional help is offered by the covered neuropsychiatrist. In lieu of asking them what tests they administer, I would suggest find a quiet time and then asking the receptionist if there is a staff member who could advise you IF their office is the right place for your child to be evaluated. Explain that you believe you are seeking a neuro/ psychiatric evaluation for your 7 year old daughter who has issues but in your insurance handbook you see Dr. X's name. Does he do that type of testing? Does he work with children? Is there anyone or any group that Dr. X recommends for testing? Finding a specialist who deals with children & adolescents is a challenge. Finding the best qualified expert to identify your childs issues and to define the path you should follow is even more of a challenge. A neuropsychiatrist is a highly trained MD. Psychologists are not medical doctors and have varying degrees of training and experience...particularly with children. I would bet that the neuropsychiatrists office will provide you with some direction. Based on many years experience, sad to say, I strongly suggest that you make sure you have a peaceful background when you call and that you sound pleasantly business- like when you call. Good luck.
