Neuropsychological Testing*
Neuropsychological and Psychological Testing Corporate Medical Policy File Name: Neuropsychological and Psychological Testing File Code: UM.DIAG.04 Origination: 07/2011 (NAME CHANGE - Replaces Neuropsychological Testing section of BCBSVT Policy on Neurodevelopmental Assessment & Neuropsychological Testing which is now an archived policy) Last Review: 01/2020 Adaptive Maintenance Cycle Only Next Review: 05/2020 Effective Date: 04/01/2020 (Adaptive Maintenance Changes Only) Neuropsychological Testing* *If the testing proposed is primarily Psychological Testing, please see section “Psychological Testing” below. 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.
