IVA-AE™
Billing Information
Many insurance companies recognize
the validity of Continuous Performance Tests (CPT)
in clarifying the diagnosis of ADHD. Some insurance
companies require any psychological testing to be
pre-approved and it may be necessary to provide
documentation regarding the reasons for the
testing. If testing using IVA-AE is questioned,
IVA-AE validity and reliability studies are
documented in the IVA-AE Interpretation Manual,
and permission is granted to registered users to
copy these studies for obtaining reimbursement of
services.
Effective January
1st, 2006, CPT codes for billing have changed.
Billing procedures now require different codes
depending upon who performed the testing – the
clinician, a technician, or solely computer based
testing.
