Fees & Payment Information
Evaluations offered through Van Horn Forensic & Psychological Services are private-pay and not eligible for insurance reimbursement. This includes immigration evaluations as well as assessments requested in the context of criminal or civil court proceedings. These services are conducted for legal, occupational, or decisional purposes and are not considered medically necessary.
If you’re unsure whether an evaluation is appropriate for your situation, you’re welcome to schedule a free phone consultation. This brief conversation allows us to clarify your needs and determine whether an evaluation is warranted. I’ll also provide an initial estimate of the scope and cost.
Fees vary depending on the type of evaluation and the complexity of the case. Payment is due in full before the evaluation takes place, and testing will not proceed until payment has been received. When services are requested by an attorney, a retainer is required in advance to secure the evaluation. If court testimony or extensive record review may be needed, these considerations will be discussed during the consultation and factored into the overall fee.
While I do not publish a full fee schedule online, I’m happy to offer general estimates during your consultation. The following ranges reflect typical costs for privately retained evaluations:
Immigration evaluations: $900 to $1,500, depending on the complexity of the case and whether psychological testing is required.
Decision-making capacity evaluations: $2,000 to $2,500, including clinical interviews, testing, and record review.
Workplace disability evaluations: $2,200 to $2,800, based on the scope of concerns and volume of supporting documentation.
*Most court-ordered evaluations (such as competency to proceed) are billed at rates set by the referring agency or jurisdiction.
A limited number of reduced-cost immigration, capacity, or guardianship evaluations may be available on a first-come, first-served basis, depending on scheduling and availability.
