Frequently Asked
About Dementia & Memory Concerns
Can you diagnose Alzheimer's disease specifically?
A neuropsychological evaluation maps the cognitive profile in detail. Final biomarker-based diagnoses (Alzheimer's, Lewy body, frontotemporal) come from coordination with neurology — but our report provides the cognitive evidence they need.
Will Medicare cover the evaluation?
Medicare typically covers medically necessary neuropsychological testing. Call our office to verify coverage before scheduling.
