North Shore Neuropsychology offers a variety of services, some of which are provided for a flat fee and others at an hourly rate. Where not otherwise indicated, the hourly rate is $235/hour. GST may be required for some services. Please note that face-to-face testing time represents only a portion of the time devoted to each evaluation, which also includes reviewing records, scoring test protocols, preparing the report, and reviewing the results with the client.

In British Columbia, fees for psychological services are not covered by the Medical Services Plan. Many extended health benefits plans cover a portion of psychological services; however, the amount of coverage varies from plan to plan. It is recommended that you check your coverage documents under “psychological services”, “paramedical” or “other medical” expenses. Payment receipts will be provided for use in obtaining reimbursement from health insurance plans. Psychological fees also qualify to be deducted as a medical expense on your personal income tax return.

For direct client-paid services, full payment is expected on the date of evaluation or consultation, by cheque, credit card, debit card, or e-transfer. For services provided for attorneys or other third parties, payment will be governed by the agreement made when the services are contracted.  Dr. Mead-Wescott is part of the WorkSafeBC Provider Network.
