Psychological testing

Assessment in Michigan

ADHD and psychological testing billed to Blue Cross Blue Shield, Blue Care Network, Aetna, and UnitedHealthcare/Optum — not a cash-only stack of scores. We choose the battery to match what you actually need to know.

People come for assessment when school, work, or daily life is not adding up: attention that will not hold, a child who is bright and still struggling, a question about autism or learning, a need for diagnostic clarity before treatment starts.

Our assessment team includes psychologists and testing clinicians (including limited-licensed clinicians under supervision), plus a psychometrician with years of neuropsychological testing experience. Reports are written in plain language. We walk you through what the results mean, and what to do next — including therapy or medication inside this same practice when that is the right step.

Assessment can be billed to Blue Cross Blue Shield, Blue Care Network, Aetna, or UnitedHealthcare/Optum. Cash pay is available. We help you check benefits before you start so there are no surprise bills. Most testing starts within a week. Testing is for ages 6 and up, in person at all four offices or by telehealth when clinically appropriate.

Assessment is available in Ann Arbor, East Lansing, Macomb, West Bloomfield, and by telehealth anywhere in Michigan.

Common questions

How soon can testing start?

Most testing starts within a week.

Where does testing happen?

Is testing covered by insurance?

Assessment can be billed to Blue Cross Blue Shield, Blue Care Network, Aetna, and UnitedHealthcare/Optum. Cash pay is also available, and we check benefits before you start.

How long until I get the report?

Most evaluations take about 4 to 6 weeks across five steps: a short first call, a clinical interview, testing, scoring and review, and a feedback session with your written report. This is a general estimate that varies with the type of testing, scheduling and other factors, and your evaluator will discuss timing with you.
