The cost of the visit varies. It depends on who you see and what evals

you have done. For example, our last visit was $1800 (not including hotel

stay). We saw Dr. Capone, a psychologist and a behaviorial psychologist.

(the psych visit was the most expensive at $800+) When you speak with Dr.

Capone, you will discuss the types of evals you need, based on your child's

issues. We could not get insurance to cover it because we have HMO. They

told us they wouldn't pay because they said we were able to get the same

evaluation done here in Philly (not true). I appealed it, but lost.

Medical Assistance will not pay for things out of state either. You could

try your insurance; it's always worth a shot. Also, we have something here

called Family Driven Support Services (FDSS) and you can get some funding for

things like this. Good Luck,
