I've discovered that "not too expensive" is relative. When I was working full time, I wouldn't think it was that much and would spring for it if I needed it. Since I'm not working full time and can't even afford to pay for my own rent or gasoline, it seems like a lot.

The 1 hour evaluation will cost me $185, but that's because it includes the annual $50 exam that is covered by my vision insurance. If it's decided that I need more evaluations, I'll need to pay more.

Then the therapy can cost a lot of money on top of that, if it's determined that it can help me.

Luckily, I'm getting financial help from my boyfriend who's supporting me until I'm able to work full time again. (I owe him a lot of money at this point. Well, I owe him and other sources even more...)

We think if it can help me to recover faster and better than I would without it, at this point (22 months after the accident), then it will be worth it. We both are just feeling very desperate to have me better than I am and closer to my functioning level before the accident.

By the by, I'm also disappointed to learn how inadequate the average auto insurance policy is towards paying for someone to recover from a mTBI.
