ANNOUNCEMENT

Welcome to the Clinical Psychology Associates of North Central Florida Neuropsychology Service

Our neuropsychology service encompasses a range of neuropsychological assessment service types. The memory disorder clinic is geared toward assessment of mild cognitive impairment or questions of early stage dementia. See further below for our other neuropsychology clinics. We are a private clinic offering neuropsychological assessments which should be done in conjuction with assessment by a medical specialist.

Memory Disorder Clinic - related to possible normal aging, early or senile onset dementia, or related to medical conditions.

At this point in time we DO accept STANDARD MEDICARE in our Memory Disorder Clinic, but given scheduled Medicare cuts of 17% or more for 2010 and 30% or more scheduled for 2011 there is a large possibility we will be forced to opt-out of Medicare. NO MEDICARE (dis)ADVANTAGE plans and NO (mis)MANAGED CARE plans accepted (Medicare or otherwise). No cases involved in litigation, seeking disability, assessing competency, or involving accidents with pending claims are eligible for this part of our clinic, though we accept these cases by direct contract as part of an IME or by contract with attorneys involved in the case.

Our Forensic Neuropsychology services are not billable to health insurance and are normally arranged for by your attorney, a disability carrier, as a neuropsychological Independent Medical Evalation or by the court. If you are involved in a motor vehicle accident, this must be arranged diractly by the auto insurance carrier or your attorney.

Our Pediatric Neuropsychology - service involves evaluation of children and young adults who may have developmental or acquired learning and memory problems. These may be covered by health insurance though we accept NO (mis)Managed Care referrals or insurance. The learning disorder part of the evaluation usually is not and will not be billed to insurance and must be private payed. Since BCBS bases its fees on Medicare and there is a pending cut fo greater than 17% scheduled for 2010, it is likely that only providers without BCBS contracts may continue to provide these services for BCBS patients.
