Neuropsychology for Executives | Data Sovereignty & Privacy

The Case for Clinical Autonomy

For high-earning professionals, the primary concern regarding neuropsychological testing is often the long-term management of their clinical narrative. In-network evaluations are typically integrated into large hospital-based Electronic Health Records (EHRs). While HIPAA provides a robust framework for privacy, it also facilitates the seamless exchange of data for treatment and operations. Professionals often choose out-of-network neuropsychology to ensure their cognitive data remains in a focused, independent environment.

Understanding Institutional Data Flow

Many assume that insurance-based care is the only path, but for the licensed professional, it introduces administrative complexities:

• EHR Interoperability: Systems like Epic use 'Care Everywhere' to facilitate treatment. While patients often have the right to opt-out of Health Information Exchanges (HIEs), a private-pay residency ensures your data starts in a standalone system, giving you greater control over where it is shared from day one.
• The Underwriting Narrative: While the Medical Information Bureau (MIB) requires your consent to share data, the diagnostic codes used for insurance billing (ICD-10) become a permanent part of your claims history. Private-pay allows you to choose when and how to leverage your insurance benefits via a Superbill, rather than having the data automatically indexed through a direct claim.
• Professional Credentialing: While no record is 'subpoena-proof,' records held in a small, private residency are significantly less likely to be 'swept up' in the broad data-mining requests often seen in large institutional or hospital-wide legal discoveries.

The Concierge Advantage: Physician-Led Auditing

Our Cocoa Beach Residency offers a private alternative to the high-volume clinic. By bypassing the insurance-driven model, you receive direct access to a licensed neuropsychologist, ensuring your results are handled with professional discretion.

• Physician-Led Administration: We eliminate technician hand-offs. Every hour of your evaluation is conducted by the doctor, ensuring the nuanced interpretation required for high-stakes professional roles.
• Controlled Reporting: Your report is delivered directly to you. We provide the documentation you need to seek out-of-network reimbursement, but the clinical record remains within our secure, independent system until you authorize its release.
• Reduced Administrative Footprint: By not filing direct insurance claims, we reduce the number of third-party entities that touch your sensitive cognitive data, providing a 'cleaner' clinical history.

Strategic Billing for Professionals

We provide a sophisticated Superbill for your out-of-network reimbursement. For professionals with PPO plans, this often allows for a 40% to 70% recoupment of the fee, depending on your policy’s allowable amounts. This model offers the best of both worlds: professional insurance utilization combined with the privacy of a private residency.
