FAQ

Frequently asked questions

01

How quickly can an evaluation happen?

Priority evaluations are typically scheduled within two business days, with a written report within days of receiving records. Standard timelines are confirmed at the first contact.

02

Will the employer, school, court, or board accept the evaluation?

Each sets its own requirements. The practice confirms the requirement in writing before the evaluation begins, and reports answer the questions asked. No outcome can be guaranteed.

03

Does every evaluation recommend treatment?

No. Recommendations match what the person needs. Sometimes that is a program. Often it is outpatient support, education, monitoring, or no treatment at all.

04

Can the same clinician evaluate and treat me?

Not for DOT SAP or employer evaluations; federal rules and professional standards require independent treatment providers. Where a school, court, or board requires an independent evaluation, treatment is referred elsewhere. The approach is explained at the first contact.

05

Are video appointments available?

Yes, while the client is physically located in New Jersey or New York.

06

Is insurance accepted?

The practice is private pay. Treatment clients receive a superbill for out-of-network reimbursement. Employer- and attorney-requested evaluations are billed under a written agreement.
