For those who may not be familiar with neuropsychological evaluations, or may not know how they could benefit from one, an initial “Mini-Consult” may be helpful.

A “Mini-Consult” is a 30-minute session one-on-one with the Neuropsychologist for the following purpose:

  • Review the doctor’s order or reason for the consultation.
  • Briefly discuss the concerns, questions, and needs of the patient and family
  • Hear specific ways the neuropsychological evaluation may be helpful
  • Review some initial brief recommendations from the Neuropsychologist

A brief summary of the Mini-Consult will be provided to the patient. If the decision is then made to proceed with the neuropsychological evaluation, the cost of the Mini-Consult will be deducted from the total cost. Benefits of the Mini-Consult: Direct access to the Neuropsychologist to learn more about how this type of evaluation may benefit a specific patient’s situation. Potential down-side to pursuing a Mini-Consult: Delay scheduling of the neuropsychological evaluation

What the Mini-Consult will not include: 

  • Detailed clinical interview and history-taking
  • Review of medical records important for the clinical history
  • Formal neuropsychological testing battery
  • Interpretation of detailed evaluation findings
  • Clinical diagnosis and recommendations specific to the individual patient’s situation

If you would like to schedule a Mini-Consult, please call our offices (219-243-1912). The cost of the Mini-Consult is $75.00.
