Dr. Magnuson does not accept insurance for autism evaluations. All evaluations are private pay. If you are seeking out-of-network coverage, Dr. Magnuson will provide you with a superbill that can be submitted to your insurance. Your insurance provider can discuss submission of a superbill and coverage possibilities with you. It is strongly recommended that you discuss coverage with your insurance provider before receiving an evaluation or beginning therapy if you plan to seek reimbursement. 

The No Surprises Act was passed in January of 2022, and it aims to eliminate surprise or unexpected costs when receiving health services. Based on Section 2799B-6 of the Public Health Service Act, health care providers, such as psychologists, are required to share a "Good Faith Estimate" of service costs to individuals who don’t have insurance or who are not using insurance. This "Good Faith Estimate" is given upon request or at the time of scheduling the service. A bill can be disputed if it is at least $400 more than this "Good Faith Estimate". Visit www.cms.gov/nosurprises for additional information. 

Assessments:

Autism assessments are a flat-fee of $2,000. Assessments fees include the initial session, the testing session, any needed collaboration with school staff, report writing, and feedback with the provider. Dr. Magnuson will provide you with a Good Faith Estimate that matches the assessment needed prior to beginning services. 

Therapy:

Therapy services cost $200 per session and sessions are 60 minutes in length if not covered by insurance.

Things happen and plans change. Please notify Dr. Magnuson through email or phone call of your cancellation at least 24 hours prior. If cancellation notice is not given, a $75 no show fee will be applied.

Therapy services typically begin with a discussion of your needs and goals in therapy. This conversation is also a good time to discuss fit with Dr. Magnuson. After discussion, it may be determined that your needs would be better treated with another clinician. Dr. Magnuson will provide resources and recommendations around appropriate avenues of treatment should this need arise. If it feels like a good fit, future appointments can be scheduled. 

Dr. Magnuson provides autism assessments to ages 2 to 7 years old. She provides therapy to adults over the age of 18 years old.
