Actually, I found out more about OHIP coverage for neuropsych assessment. It IS covered under OHIP no matter whether a psychologist or psychiatrist or any other MD refers you... HOWEVER, due to some VERY recent changes, different hospitals (like the Ottawa Hospital) are restricting access to the assessments through OHIP in an effort to reduce provincial wait times.
While they are not actually legally allowed to do this, most people are not aware of this and they are taking advantage of people willing to pay out of pocket. We are currently researching more into this to see whether the government is willing to step in and tell the hospitals they are not able to dictate this two tiered system or not. People will still be allowed to get private neuropsych assessments at private psychology offices if they want out of pocket, but the hospital should not be dictating this. Just a heads up. I'm not sure what other hospitals other than The Ottawa Hospital is doing this... but neuropsych assessments should be covered under OHIP by any MD referral, including your own GP and also a regular psychologist.

My husband is chasing it down, not me.. I don't have the energy to do it... but I thought I'd share it here. When he learns more, I'll add to it.
