Fees, Payment, and Insurance

In assessing fees for our services, we generally follow the recommendations of the Manitoba Psychological Society (MPS), but fees for certain services are slightly higher.

Psychological Treatment:

Professional fees are for psychological treatment (psychotherapy, family therapy, couple therapy, coaching, etc.) are based on 50-minute-long blocks of time. We assess fees for appointment times longer than 50 minutes, and for telephone calls or other consultations longer than 10 minutes, and for communications by email proportionally at this fee.

Psychological and Pediatric Neuropsychological Evaluation

Professional fees are for psychological and pediatric neuropsychological assessment are also based on 50-minute-long blocks of time. Fees are applicable to all time spent on an evaluation, including time spent:

• With a client for interviews, psychological testing, etc.;
• Reviewing documents provided to us;
• Conducting other interviews (e.g. with parents or guardians, teachers, a spouse);
• Scoring tests, analyzing findings;
• Providing feedback on evaluation findings;
• Writing reports;
• Providing follow-up services, such as consultation with school staff or a physician, additional feedback meeting time, time spent completing forms.

The total time required for a specific evaluation can only be estimated in advance. The process could be as little as a couple of hours, or much longer, depending upon the type and complexity of issues involved, the number of people we need to interview (teachers, physicians, etc.), the types and amount of testing needed.

A general breakdown of fees follows:

Psychoeducational Assessment:

• Intake interviews Approximately 1.0 hour
• Testing (Cognitive, Academic Achievement, Executive, Emotional) 4.0 to 8.5 hours
• Collateral Interviews Up to 1.0 hour
• Scoring and Interpretation 1.0 to 2.0 hours
• Feedback 1.0 hours
• Writing a report 2.0 to 4.0 hours

Multiplying this breakdown by the hourly fee, total fees will range from approximately $1,600 to $3,000. However, total fees for an evaluation are most commonly around $2000.

Pediatric Neuropsychological Evaluation:

A pediatric neuropsychological evaluation will typically take longer than a psychoeducational evaluation, so total fees are usually higher as well. This will be discussed in advance with our office.
