Payment Information
Portsmouth Neuropsychology Center Payment Policy
At the Portsmouth Neuropsychology Center, we accept cash and check payments for services. We do not accept credit cards. We do not participate directly with insurance networks, but we can provide itemized statements for clients who wish to seek out-of-network reimbursement. Insurance coverage is determined by individual plans. This practice model allows us to devote our time and resources to thoughtful, personalized care without the administrative constraints of insurance participation.
Payment for Neuropsychological Evaluations
Due to high demand and resulting long waits for our neuropsychology evaluations, we have instituted a deposit requirement to minimize no-shows and late cancellations, both of which prevent us from offering such time slots to other clients. For neuropsychological evaluations, a deposit is due within 24 hours of scheduling.
Once you have scheduled with our office, please use our Payment Portal to make your deposit. The remaining balance is due in two installments, with half of the remaining balance due at the initial intake and the final payment by the last testing session.
Unless you process your deposit within 24 hours of booking, we will release your appointment. Once paid, your deposit is NOT refundable unless you provide our office at least 10 business days of advance notice prior to your appointment. To cancel your appointment, you must call our office at (603) 433-0800.
Payment for Psychotherapy
Payments for psychotherapy sessions are due at each session and are private pay.
Payment for Clinical Consultations
Certain clinical consultation services — such as representing a client at IEP meetings or reviewing another practitioner’s evaluation — are billed at an hourly rate and are due at the time of the consultation. These services involve the application of clinical expertise but do not constitute psychotherapy or a neuropsychological evaluation.
Payment for Professional Services
Professional and educational consultation services are consultative in nature and are billed at an hourly rate. Depending on the nature of these services, they may be billed monthly, at the time of consultation, or subject to a retainer.
Payment Portal
Once you become an established client of the Portsmouth Neuropsychology Center, you will have access to our Payment Portal where you can easily make ACH (bank- to-bank) payments online.

Payment FAQs
Q: How much does a neuropsychological evaluation cost?
ANSWER:
Since the type of neuropsychological testing involved can vary based on the specific referral question, so too does the cost. Whatever the anticipated total cost, for neuropsychological evaluations a deposit is due within 24 hours of scheduling, with the remaining balance due split between the initial intake and the last testing session. In your initial inquiry call with PNC, we will discuss the types of evaluations appropriate and share their corresponding costs. Clients will always be provided with a Good Faith Estimate prior to services being rendered.
Q: How much do psychotherapy or consultation services cost?
ANSWER:
To learn more about fees for psychotherapy and consultation services, we encourage you to contact our office so we can discuss options, review current rates, and answer any questions you may have before scheduling.
Q: Does the Portsmouth Neuropsychology Center accept insurance?
ANSWER:
The Portsmouth Neuropsychology Center is a private-pay practice. Our clinicians are considered out-of-network providers, which means they are not part of any insurance panels. We do not directly bill insurance, but we can assist clients with the process of submitting claims to their insurance company. We can provide you with receipts (or super bills) that contain the necessary information for insurance companies to process out-of-network benefits. You should contact your insurance provider to understand your out-of-network benefits and find out if you can be reimbursed for the cost of treatment.
The service codes (CPT codes) for submitting claims can be found here.
Q: What forms of payment does the Portsmouth Neuropsychology Center accept?
ANSWER:
We accept cash or check. We do not accept credit cards or third-party online payment methods. You may pay via ACH through our online payment portal.
Q: Can I use my flexible spending account (FSA) to pay for services?
ANSWER:
Yes. While payment in the form of cash or check at time of service is required, we can provide itemized receipts you can submit directly to your FSA.
Q: Do you charge for missed appointments or cancellations?
ANSWER:
For psychotherapy and consultation services, if you provide at least 24-hour notice, there is no fee for missed or canceled sessions. If you do not provide at least 24 hours’ notice, you will be responsible for the full session fee.
Neuropsychological evaluations follow a separate deposit and cancellation policy, as outlined above.
