I have heard that educational testing may not be covered by my insurance company, is that true?

For minors, any testing considered “educational” to test for learning disabilities, attention or achievement level will typically not be covered unless this testing is part of a group of tests looking at other psychological conditions. Since the public school system can evaluate for educational issues, insurance companies may consider any private educational testing not “medically necessary” and deny claims. If your testing will be purely educational in nature, we strongly recommend you call and discuss the client’s case with your insurance company before starting the assessment process, to confirm what will be covered.
