Fees & Payment
Understanding Your Investment in Care
We know navigating costs and payments can feel overwhelming. Our priority is a comprehensive evaluation tailored to you. To preserve quality, we do not bill or accept payment directly from insurance. Instead, we provide a clear and supportive payment process.
Why We Do Not Accept Insurance
Decisions Based on Care, Not Coverage
Minnesota Neuropsychology (MNNP) is an out-of-network provider, which means we do not bill or accept payment from insurance directly. For providers who do accept insurance, insurance companies then place strict limits on which tests can be administered and how much time can be spent on each part of an evaluation. These restrictions can prevent clinicians from conducting the thorough, individualized assessments that many clients need.
By not accepting insurance, we are able to:
- Spend the time necessary to fully evaluate each client
- Select the most appropriate tests for the individual—not the insurer
- Use the most up-to-date assessment tools and research
- Provide comprehensive evaluations tailored to each person’s unique needs
Our goal is to deliver the highest quality care, guided by clinical expertise rather than insurance requirements. Read Putting Clinical Care First to understand why we choose a private pay model.

Insurance & Reimbursement
Understanding Your Out-of-Network Benefits
Although we do not bill insurance directly, some insurance plans offer partial reimbursement for out-of-network neuropsychological services. After your evaluation, we provide a superbill, which is the document required by insurance companies to seek reimbursement.
Important Notes
- Reimbursement varies by insurance provider and plan
- Not all plans offer out-of-network reimbursement
- Any reimbursement is paid directly to you
