boy, i do NOT think they will!
is this for SSDI, disability insurance claim to get social security benefits?
they will send you to whoever; THEY PAID.
i talked to a neuropsych last week someone here was referred to, and she charges $3200 for this consultive exam testing!~!

I have to say that the neuropsych screening that I had done was worthless.
I thought they would help me figure out why I have such trouble. That is not their purpose.
So, depending upon WHY you are going, be sure to find out if the tests will meet your needs.

i am going because i was denied ltd benefits from my employer.
their denial was based on neuropsych testing done by psychologist paid to give a negative opinion.
even thought he said i had many deficits he said i was faking them!
so i was to have my own testing done to counter that BS!

I suggest asking a LLMD whom they might suggest for testing.
And - why must it be a neuropshyc test? Aren't there others such as endurance, SPECT (to show brain blood flow), etc. What does your LLMD say about all this ?
You might check into some of the cardiac tests at this site:
Topic: To everyone with cardiac symptoms please read!

A sleep study might also help. But be sure a LL doctor does it.

Can you find a disability atty who is very LL - ask what tests might be of help. -

Oh, if you have any inner ear/balance symptoms, there are some vestibular tests that may be helpful in documentation.
