NOTE: A FREE PHONE CONSULTATION WITH THE POTENTIAL EXAMINEE’S ATTORNEY MUST TAKE PLACE BEFORE AN APPOINTMENT WILL BE SCHEDULED IN ORDER TO CONFIRM THAT I AM AN APPROPRIATE PROVIDER FOR THE CASE. DURING THIS PHONE CALL, I WILL BE HAPPY TO PROVIDE AN ESTIMATED COST FOR THE EVALUATION BASED UPON INFORMATION PROVIDED BY THE ATTORNEY ABOUT THE CASE. ACTUAL COST, HOWEVER, MAY EXCEED THE ESTIMATE BECAUSE IT IS VERY DIFFICULT TO KNOW EXACTLY HOW LONG AN INTERVIEW OR TESTING PROCESS WILL TAKE – PARTICULARLY WHEN INTERPRETERS ARE INVOLVED.

Immigration evaluations are billed at a rate of $100 per hour prorated for actual time spent (except for the written report which is billed separately) and are typically not reimbursable by insurance. A typical immigration evaluation includes a detailed interview with the examinee, administration of at least 2 test instruments, review of written documentation provided by the legal team or other providers of care, and phone conversations or meetings with other providers or individuals with whom the examinee has interacted. These could include medical doctors, other mental health providers, roommates, family members, etc.

A typical immigration evaluation, without collateral interviews needed, can take a minimum of 4 to 9 hours. The time involved/actual cost depends upon amount of documentation to review, interviews/testing being more difficult and taking more time due to the need for an interpreter to be involved, etc.

New evaluation reports are billed at a flat fee of $300. They are detailed and can be as lengthy as 10-12 pages.

Updated assessments are billed at the $100 per hour prorated fee. Total cost will depend on whether or not check-ins with collateral interviewees are needed and the amount of additional documentation to review. At a minimum, they will require a 1-2-hour meeting with the examinee to assess current level of functioning. Again, reports are billed separately; an updated report is billed at $150.

Fees are due as follows:

–Fee for clinical interview is due at the completion of the interview

–Remainder of the evaluation fee is due at the end of the final testing session with the examinee

–Report fee is due when the report is finalized. The report will not be sent to the attorney until the fee has been paid.

If testimony is required, the fee is $200 per hour for the following expenses: preparation time spent with legal team, travel time to and from testimony, wait time at Immigration Court before testimony occurs, and actual time spent in testimony.

See handout entitled “Preparing For Your Pre-Adoption Evaluation” in the Client Forms section of this website.

Fee for a couple is $800 (if no projective test required). If a projective test is required, the fee is $1600 because I will administer the test to each partner individually, score/interpret each test, and write up the results for each.

Fee for single adult is $400 (if no projective test is required) or $800 if a projective test is required).

1/2 of the fee is due at the end of the first session and the final 1/2 is due when the report is completed. The report will not be sent out until final payment is received.

Testing requirements and subject matter to be covered during the assessment are set by the country from which you are adopting. Please fax to me (at 952-925-5614) in advance of your first appointment the paperwork given to you from the adoption agency or host country outlining the testing requirements. If you are unsure whether or not a projective test would be required and wish to consult with me before making an appointment, I’m happy to have a free telephone conversation to make that determination. Please call me at 612-718-8799.

Often this type of testing is used to clarify a diagnosis or to assist in developing an appropriate treatment plan for therapy. Clients who come for this testing are usually referred by a therapist, social worker, physician, or other professional. Typically such an assessment consists of a 90-minute clinical interview, at least 2 psychological test instruments – some of which may need to be administered by me – my interpretation of test results, and a face-to-face feedback session. Costs of the assessment are based upon the following fee schedule:

90-minute clinical interview $225

Test administration/scoring $175/hour (fee only occurs if a test must be administered by me)

Test evaluation services* $90/30-min. intervals

*Includes interpretation/integration of test results & clinical data, clinical decision-making, treatment planning, report writing, and providing feedback to client

The fee for the clinical interview ($225) will be due at the end of the clinical interview and the remainder of the fee will be due at the beginning of the feedback session. If a report is to be provided to another provider, such as a social work case manager, a therapist, etc., it will not be sent until the full fee has been paid.

Total costs will vary depending upon the number & type of tests administered. To obtain an estimate of what your assessment would cost, please call me at 612-718-8799 to arrange a free phone consultation.
