Unless the NeuroPsych office has specifically requested the spouse be present, they are not usually included. I have had three NPA's. Only one had my wife there and it was the 45 minute mini version done for SSDI by a generic psychologist. She was not asked about my cognitive and memory skills but rather behavioral issues.
The 4 and 5 hour NPA's were without my wife and did not include a debrief. The 5 hour was schedule to go into part of a second day but the NP stopped it early because he already had decided on a diagnosis. IMO, A NeuroPsych who needs the spouse's comments is fishing for ways to deny the organic nature of the complaints. Lightrail, I am curious about your Trailmaking test scores. What were your times and what was the evaluation of those times? Often, the A and B times are not properly evaluated for concussion.
