Azana Psychology Center is currently in-network with Aetna, Cigna/Evernorth, Anthem Blue Cross, United Behavioral Health/Optum, and Blue Shield of California.

Network participation does not guarantee that every evaluation or service will be covered. Coverage may depend on the specific plan, medical group, diagnosis, medical necessity, authorization requirements, deductible, and other plan provisions. We will help verify benefits when possible, but verification is not a guarantee of payment.

Families are encouraged to contact their insurance carrier directly to verify eligibility, benefits, and reimbursement options.

Private-pay fees vary according to the scope and complexity of the evaluation. Comprehensive evaluations generally range from $4,250 to $4,500. Focused evaluations may have different fees when clinically appropriate. A specific fee and Good Faith Estimate will be provided after the referral question and anticipated scope have been reviewed.

Limited payment arrangements may be available on a case-by-case basis. Please feel free to inquire during the consultation to discuss options.

Direct testing time varies according to the person’s age, referral question, pace, and the scope of the evaluation. Testing may occur during one or more appointments. Additional professional time is required for interviews, record review, scoring, interpretation, report preparation, consultation, and feedback.

Evaluations typically include:

•Clinical interview and developmental history

•Standardized testing tailored to the referral question

•Behavioral observations

•Review of relevant records and collateral information when available

•Integration of findings

•A comprehensive written report

•A feedback session with recommendations

Yes. A detailed written report is provided after the feedback session has been completed.

The report includes findings, diagnostic impressions when appropriate, and individualized recommendations for home, school, and treatment planning.

When clinically appropriate, evaluations may provide documentation that can help support requests for school-based services, such as 504 Plans, IEP considerations, and testing accommodations.

Recommendations are based on clinical findings and are not guaranteed to result in approval of services or accommodations.

Neurodevelopmental, learning, ADHD, autism, and diagnostic clarification evaluations are available for children, adolescents, and young adults through age 22. Focused presurgical psychological evaluations may be available for adults outside this age range.

Azana Psychology Center’s primary service is psychological and neurodevelopmental evaluation. Ongoing psychotherapy is not included as part of the evaluation service. When appropriate, recommendations or referrals for therapy may be provided.

No. Evaluations conducted at Azana Psychology Center are clinical in nature and are not intended for forensic, legal, custody, or other court-related purposes.

If an evaluation is needed for legal or forensic use, this should be discussed in advance, as such services may fall outside the scope of the practice.

Under the No Surprises Act, private-pay clients have the right to receive a Good Faith Estimate of expected charges upon request.

This estimate can be provided prior to the start of services when applicable.

Completion of required forms and submission of relevant records are important parts of the evaluation process.

Missing information may affect the scope, timeline, interpretive confidence, or completion of the evaluation.

Dr. Lesquives is fluent in English, Spanish, and Portuguese. Bilingual and Spanish-language services are available, and each evaluation is planned according to the individual’s language history, developmental background, referral question, and the availability of appropriate standardized measures. Please discuss language needs during the initial consultation.

Insurance coverage generally depends on whether the evaluation is medically necessary for diagnosing or treating a health condition. Services requested exclusively for educational planning, academic placement, gifted identification, or school accommodations may be excluded. Coverage varies by plan, and verification of benefits is not a guarantee of payment.

The first step is to schedule an initial consultation.

During this appointment, we will review your concerns, discuss the referral question, determine the most appropriate evaluation plan, and answer any questions about the process.
