Description/Summary Neuropsychological testing (including higher cerebral function testing) consists of the administration of reliable and valid tests to identify the presence of brain damage, injury or dysfunction and any associated neuropsychological deficits. Findings are documented in a written report and help to determine the patient’s prognosis and assist with long-term treatment planning. Neuropsychological testing is typically covered under the medical benefit and will be covered up to eight cumulative hours without the need for prior authorization. • Neuropsychological testing differs from that of psychological testing in that neuropsychological testing generally consists of the administration of measures that sample cognitive and performance domains sensitive to the functional integrity of the brain, such as memory and learning, attention, language, problem solving, sensorimotor functions, etc. Neuropsychological tests are objective and quantitative in nature and tend to be specific to determining function in certain cortical regions, whereas psychological testing may test for broader cortical function, such as personality traits, and include self-report questionnaires, rating scales or projective techniques. The length of the evaluation depends upon a number of factors. These include not only the nature of the specific diagnosis, but also the patient's level of impairment, motivation, endurance and ability to cooperate with examination requests. -

10: Tests Used in Diagnosing Dementia
Dementia Q&A 10 Tests used in diagnosing dementia This sheet explains the more common tests and assessments doctors currently use to diagnose dementia. Those who are being assessed for dementia will find it helpful to be prepared for what, for some people, can be a long and emotionally difficult process. What does assessment for dementia involve? There is no one diagnostic test for Alzheimer’s disease or for most other causes of dementia. Instead, doctors use a number of different tests and assessments to determine whether symptoms fit certain criteria and to rule out other possible causes of these symptoms. The first step towards a diagnosis is to talk to your doctor about your concerns. It is a good idea to take a close family member or friend along to the appointment to assist in providing additional information. It is also a good idea to take along a list of the memory changes or any other changes in mode, thinking or behaviour that have been concerning you, including when you first noticed them and how often you notice them. You should also take a list of the medications you are taking or bring your medications with you to the appointment. Your doctor may assess you or may make a referral to a specialist doctor such as a geriatrician (a specialist in illnesses and disabilities in older people), a neurologist (a specialist in disorders of the brain and nerve pathways), or a psychiatrist (a specialist in disorders of thinking, emotion and behaviour). For language assistance National Dementia Helpline 1800 100 500 call 131 450 Dementia Q&A 10 Assessment for dementia includes the following: Personal history The doctor usually spends some time discussing your medical history and gathering information about your changes in memory and thinking. -
