We understand that insurance can be a major consideration for many of our clients, which is why we strive to make the reimbursement process as straightforward as possible.
As of Jan 1, 2023, our practice no longer bills insurance directly for testing services. The decision to become a self-pay practice was based on the increasing limitations that insurance companies were placing on us including denying coverage of ADHD & learning disorder assessments and treatments, and requiring us to share your child’s diagnosis with them.
Tampa Pediatric Psychology values patient privacy and believes that decisions about mental health treatment should be guided by experienced providers rather than insurance requirements.

We are happy to help our clients obtain reimbursement for our services. If you have a PPO plan, you may be eligible for reimbursement. Complete the form below to have our Billing Specialist verify your coverage.
Flexible Financing with CareCredit
We proudly accept the CareCredit credit card to help you finance the cost of psychological assessment services. Special financing options are available.
Payment Options
-
If you would like to use insurance, we can help you submit an out-of-network claim for any reimbursement your plan provides. We partner with a claims-processing company called Thrizer who will submit your claim to insurance on your behalf, if interested.
Insurance companies will only cover assessments that are considered “medically necessary”. During your intake appointment, we will discuss the need and purpose for the evaluation. Most of our clients are in need of testing (or you wouldn’t be reaching out). An example of a non-medically necessary assessment would be cognitive testing for the purpose of gifted eligibility in school.
Please reach out to our Care Coordinator using this form if you are interested in using insurance so we can help you understand your coverage & any limits.

We are happy to arrange a custom payment plan that fits your family’s financial needs. This typically looks like splitting the cost of evaluation over 3-4 biweekly or monthly installments.
Please let our Care Coordinator know you are interested in hearing more about our custom payment plan options.
