Your Guide to Insurance Coverage at The Goldman Center
At The Goldman Center of Chicago, we strive to make our diagnostic evaluation services accessible to all families. We are in-network with Blue Cross Blue Shield (BCBS) PPO, and we also have extensive experience working with out-of-network providers. Our dedicated team is here to help you navigate your insurance options and understand any potential out-of-pocket costs.
Accessible Care with Accepted Insurance Plans
Diagnostic evaluations and assessments at The Goldman Center are often covered by insurance, especially if you have a plan with BCBS PPO. Coverage can vary based on your specific insurance plan, and there may be deductibles or copayments required. We will verify your benefits before your appointment and discuss any anticipated costs with you upfront.
Insurance Coverage for Evaluations
If your insurance plan is out-of-network, we are still happy to assist. Our team has experience navigating out-of-network claims and can guide you through the process to explore coverage options. We can provide you with the necessary documentation to submit claims to your insurance company for potential reimbursement of our services.
Simplifying the Insurance Process for Your Peace of Mind
We know that navigating insurance can be stressful, so we’ve streamlined the process to make it as easy as possible for you. Here’s how it works:
Provide Insurance Information
When scheduling your appointment, simply share your insurance details with us.
Pre-Authorization
We take care of all necessary pre-authorizations and coordinate directly with your insurance carrier.
Direct Billing
No need to worry about paperwork— we’ll bill your insurance company directly for the services provided, ensuring a hassle-free experience for you.
Understanding Out-of-Pocket Costs
While most evaluation costs are covered by insurance, some out-of-pocket expenses may apply, such as deductibles or co-pays, depending on your specific plan. We’re here to help you navigate these costs and ensure you understand what to expect, making the process as smooth as possible for your family.
Hassle-Free Billing and Claims Process
We understand that managing insurance can be overwhelming, so we handle the entire billing process for you. Our team submits insurance claims on your behalf and follows up with your carrier to ensure everything is processed smoothly. If there’s a balance after insurance, we’ll work with you directly to settle any remaining costs, making the process as simple and stress-free as possible.
Accessible Evaluations Through Illinois Early Intervention
For families with children under 3, we offer medical diagnostic evaluations fully covered by the Illinois Early Intervention (EI) program. There’s no cost to you, making it easier to access the support your child needs. To qualify, you’ll need a referral from your EI service coordinator. Please note that this program is available for children under the age of 3.

"Our experience with The Goldman Center was incredibly supportive. They were there for us when we felt most vulnerable, quickly setting up an evaluation for our son when other places had long wait times. The staff treated us with kindness, answered all our questions thoroughly, and made us feel comfortable throughout the diagnosis process. They provided us with excellent resources and therapy programs, leading to great success for our son. We highly recommend The Goldman Center!"
"A friend recommended The Goldman Center to us, and now we recommend them to anyone who suspects their child may be neurodivergent. Getting a proper diagnosis was crucial for us, and we needed a place that was both thorough in testing and could clearly explain how our son's diagnosis specifically affected him. Goldman did exactly that, providing detailed insights and recommending resources tailored to our son's unique needs."
