Cognitive Screen


A cognitive screening (also called a neuropsychological screen) is shorter than a full neuropsychological assessment but still more in-depth than computerized testing screening, sideline screening, or other brief or in-office screening tools (e.g., MOCA)
 
Testing typically includes a brief neuropsychological battery such as the Repeatable Battery for the Assessment of Neuropsychological Status (RBANS), effort testing, a brief interview regarding cognitive symptoms, and pencil-and-paper measures of depression and anxiety.  The report is typically 2-3 pages focusing on a summary of findings and recommendations.
 
Some common uses for the cognitive screen include:
  • If an injury or illness is mild and no significant impairment is suspected; a screen could be adequate to serve as the “cognitive” component in doctor’s return to work or return to play decisions
  • If a more detailed assessment was done earlier in same episode and a mid- or post-recovery comparison is needed
  • If repeated measures are required to monitor a known illness (for example, yearly progress monitoring for a dementia, MS, or Parkinson’s)

Reports can be expected within 2 weeks of testing.

 
Tests Administered may measure:
  • Anxiety
  • Depression
  • Effort
  • Immediate memory
  • Attention
  • Language
  • Visuospatial construction
  • Delayed memory

Costs
 
Cognitive screening is billed per hour and an average full assessment takes 8 hours total—this includes the assessment, scoring, document review, interpretation of the findings, and writing the report.  Additional hours may be booked for feedback sessions upon request.
