Frequently Asked Questions

Neuropsychological Assessment and Cognitive Testing at Nassau Neuropsychology Garden City, NY

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs):

1.What Does the Testing Process Involve?

The length and structure of a neuropsychological evaluation can vary based on age and

the type of concerns being assessed. A comprehensive evaluation typically includes

6–8 hours of in-person testing.

 For children: Testing is usually divided into several shorter sessions (about 2-3

hours each) to keep them comfortable and engaged.

 For teens and adults: Sessions may be longer so the full evaluation can be

completed in fewer appointments.

We will work with you to determine the session length and schedule that best fits your

needs.

From the initial appointment to the final feedback session, the full evaluation process

generally takes about eight weeks. You will receive a comprehensive written report after

the feedback session with the doctor.

2.When Will I Receive My Results and Final Report?

A feedback session—held either in person or via telehealth—is typically scheduled 2–4

weeks after your final testing session. In some cases, depending on availability,

feedback may be offered sooner.

You will receive your finalized written report after the feedback session, usually within 4

weeks.

Please note: reports are released once all evaluation fees have been paid in full.

3.Do I need a referral to schedule an evaluation?

No! Referrals can come from a physician or treatment provider, but you can also seek

an evaluation on your own without a referral required.

4. Do you accept insurance?

No, all evaluations are self-pay. However, you may request a superbill to submit to your

insurance company for reimbursement following the conclusion of the evaluation.

5. Are you available to participate in IEP meetings/reviews?

While this will eventually be a service offered, due to scheduling conflicts I am not able

to do so at this time. However, this service is expected to be available in September

2026. Please note that an additional fee will apply for this service. Additionally, referrals

for a school or peer advocate can be requested in lieu of the neuropsychologist.

6. How Do I Schedule a Neuropsychological Evaluation?

To schedule an evaluation, please contact our office and let us know you are interested

in neuropsychological testing. During the call, we will complete a brief intake screening

7. What documentation do I need to provide?

The neuropsychologist may request additional documentation at the clinical interview, to

be brought to the testing session or sent prior to. All patients will be required to

neuropsychological evaluation or psychological evaluation, recent medical records (i.e.,

recent lab work/physical, neuroimaging, neurology records, psychology records),
