It was covered by insurance, which was another fiasco. I had to get a referral from my son's pediatrician because he (the psychologist) said insurance would not cover it if the psychologist ordered it. So I assume that all went through because I never had to pay anything for it. Maybe I got a watered down version because I didn't pay for it?
Two thoughts:
1) Typically a person would receive an Explanation Of Benefits (EOB) from their insurance. This might show the service(s) and amount(s) billed by the healthcare provider, the amount(s) covered by insurance, any amount(s) NOT covered by insurance, any notes by the insurance company such as maximum allowable benefit for the service(s) and/or time periods, etc. You may wish to inquire of your insurance company to receive an EOB for all services rendered between dates xx/xx/xx and xx/xx/xx and/or from Xxxxxxxxx healthcare provider.
2) I am not familiar with a person receiving less than a full report based upon the fees being covered by insurance. However it is possible that insurance may cover assessment for finding LDs only, and may not cover for determining relative strengths such as high IQ measurement which may be understood as giftedness; the tester may have been assessing for LDs. You may wish to contact the psychologist's office stating your expectations (as mentioned in a
post upthread), and carefully consider their response.
