What are the Benefits of a Private Assessment?

Unique benefits of a private assessment vs. an insurance-based assessment:

Increased confidentiality: You do not have to share the information with your insurance company, or anyone else, unless you choose to do so. All engagement through our office by any third party of our clients must be a consented individual on our Exchange of Information. We provide both an Informed Confidentiality Consent & a HIPAA notice to all clients that engage with our office.

No insurance restrictions: Insurance-based assessments, or evaluations, tend to be less in-depth.  While they can provide a diagnosis, recommendations tend to be more general.  Our assessments go far beyond a diagnosis.

Turning Points’ expert Educational Psychologists and School Neuropsychologists will provide you with detailed information about both your strengths and barriers, make individualized recommendations based on the client’s specific learning profile, and provide a road map for the strategies and supports that will help the most going forward.

More personalized care: From the very first interaction you have with Turning Points staff, we’ll make certain you feel heard and understand your options. Understanding the many types of assessment that are the appropriate fit for yourself or your child can be an overwhelming and even nuanced process.
Our team is dedicated to providing neuroaffirming care that makes all clients, regardless of background and self-identity feel understood in your own specific barriers or differences they want to uncover, provide a comprehensive, detailed, and individualized recommendation plan, and ensure you are successful in setting up the next steps that are the right fit. Additional follow-up support is available as needed as well.
