Neuropsychological
Assessments or Tests – 80%
Benefits
are provided for neuropsychological assessments or tests required to prescribe
an appropriate treatment plan, with an
annual
maximum of $600 and a
lifetime
maximum of $1,200. If expenses exceed the
$600 annual maximum or $1,200 lifetime maximum, this plan will not pay the
additional costs. These services always require 20 percent coinsurance and these
coinsurance expenses do not apply toward the $2,300 annual coinsurance maximum.
This includes any later reevaluations to make certain the treatment is achieving
the desired results.
Treatment
must be preauthorized with the Trust Office.
Neuropsychological
assessments or tests include the administration and interpretation of tests
including, but not limited to, the cognitive function of the central nervous
system, Minnesota Multiphasic Inventory (MMPI), the Rorschach (inkblot) test,
and developmental testing.
Benefits
are not
provided for:
- State-required
medical assessments for specialized educational programs; services or supplies
required by law to be provided by any school system; or treatment for learning
disabilities. This exclusion applies regardless of the recommendation of the
attending physician.
- Neurological
and psychological testing or evaluations related to rehabilitation,
neurodevelopmental therapy, cognitive therapy, dementia, or for a change in the
individual’s environment or residence.
