For Physicians and Healthcare Providers
To refer a patient, call either office or have your patient contact us directly. A clear referral question helps us choose the right measures, so please let us know the reason for the referral and share any relevant records, such as neurological workups, imaging reports, or prior testing. Our office manager will reach out to the patient, review their insurance coverage, and schedule the evaluation.
Evaluations under New York Workers' Compensation require a physician referral. A physician referral is not required for No-Fault evaluations, although we welcome referrals from treating physicians.
For Schools and Educators
School psychologists, teachers, and administrators often recommend a neuropsychological evaluation when a student's learning, attention, or behavior is not fully explained by school-based testing. With parental consent, our reports can be shared with the school team and used to guide IEP and 504 planning, interventions, and accommodations.
For Attorneys, Insurance Carriers, and Employers
LINS neuropsychologists perform independent medical examinations (IMEs) at the request of insurance carriers, law firms, and employers. The scope of the evaluation and report is tailored to the specific questions asked, from a record review and interview to a comprehensive neuropsychological evaluation. We also evaluate individuals with injuries from car accidents (No-Fault) and work injuries (Workers' Compensation). An IME fee schedule is available on request.
What You Receive
- A written report describing the results, diagnostic impressions, and specific recommendations
- A feedback session in which the results are reviewed with the patient and, when appropriate, their family
- With the patient's authorization, a copy of the report sent to the referring provider
- For IMEs, a report that addresses the questions posed by the requesting party
