Diagnostic Evaluation
I offer diagnostic evaluations using a biopsychosocial assessment. All clients engaging in psychotherapy will participate in a diagnostic evaluation; however, these assessments are available as a stand-alone service. Evaluations are typically 1.5-2 hours in length and involve a clinical interview, completion of screening tools, review of collateral documentation, and collaboration with parents and/or other providers. In certain circumstances, evaluations may last 1-3 sessions.
Most insurance plans will cover a diagnostic evaluation one time per client per provider per calendar year. You can confirm coverage with your insurance for this service by inquiring about coverage for CPT Code 90791.
Surgical Readiness Assessments for Gender Affirming Treatment
As a gender-affirming practice, I am a pledge member of The Gender Affirming Letter Access Project (The GALAP). Through this pledge, I offer an informed-consent driven and harm-reduction based assessment that aligns with WPATH guidelines to support the pre-authorization process for surgeons and insurance payors. For insurance payors with whom I am in-network, I opt to bill for this service. For out-of-network or in-network cost shares that are prohibitive, this service is offered pro bono. This assessment is typically completed in 1 session, but it may take up to 3 sessions depending on the complexity of your situation. I strive to always offer a supportive letter, and I will work with you to address any barriers that may prevent me being able to offer a supportive letter at the time of assessment, so that a supportive letter can be provided. Please note that, for most surgeons and insurance payors, these assessments and letters are only valid, on average, for 12-18 months.
At this time, I am unfortunately unable to offer these assessments for minors.
