A neuropsychologist is a doctoral-level psychologist who uses standardized testing, behavioral observation, and clinical interview to understand how brain structure and function affect cognition, emotions, and daily life. Whether you are managing a concussion, wondering why your child struggles at school, or facing cognitive changes later in life, a neuropsychological evaluation can pinpoint strengths and weaknesses, clarify diagnoses, and guide practical treatment plans.
A neuropsychological evaluation is a comprehensive assessment that measures various aspects of cognitive functioning. This includes tests for memory, attention, problem-solving, language skills, and emotional functioning. The evaluation helps in diagnosing conditions, planning treatments, and monitoring progress over time.
Results are compared with age-, sex-, and education-matched norms. The clinical neuropsychologist integrates scores with medical records and brain imaging to answer practical questions such as:
Medicare and most commercial insurers pay for neuropsychological testing under CPT codes 96116, 96121, 96136–96139 after medical necessity is established. Pre-authorization rules vary—always confirm beforehand.
Common reasons for referral include:
Adult & Lifespan Clinical Neuropsychology
Typical referrals include stroke, epilepsy surgery work-ups, multiple sclerosis, Parkinson’s, long-COVID cognitive fog, and mood or psychotic disorders with suspected cognitive decline. Evaluations inform medication choices, vocational rehab, disability determinations, and driving safety.
Pediatric Neuropsychologist
Children’s brains develop rapidly; therefore tests and norms must be age-sensitive. A pediatric neuropsychologist addresses learning disabilities, autism spectrum disorder, genetic syndromes, prenatal exposures, chemotherapy effects, and concussions. Reports translate findings into IEP/504 recommendations and coach caregivers on behavior strategies.
Forensic Neuropsychologist
When cognitive status may influence legal outcomes—capacity to stand trial, personal-injury damages, testamentary competence—a forensic neuropsychologist provides impartial expert testimony. Courts scrutinize methodology, so practitioners follow specialty guidelines on validity testing and data security.
Remember, recovery is possible. With early intervention, a supportive network, and the right professional care, you can overcome the challenges of Neuropsychologist and build a fulfilling life. We are here to help you find care.
