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

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
