FAQ
UC SHIP testing questions
Do you accept UC SHIP for psychological testing?
Yes. Cogniscribe accepts UC SHIP through Anthem Blue Cross and Wellfleet for participating schools. Coverage and authorization requirements vary by plan and service, and we review your insurance information before scheduling.
Will my plan cover testing?
Coverage depends on your specific plan, the type of evaluation, and medical necessity. We verify your benefits before scheduling. Verification is not a guarantee of payment, so we’ll walk you through anything you may owe, like a deductible, copay, or coinsurance.
Do I need a campus referral?
UC SHIP students typically need a referral from campus Counseling and Psychological Services (CAPS) or Student Health Services before seeing an outside participating provider. We check referral status before scheduling.
Can testing help with academic accommodations?
When clinically appropriate, a report can document findings and recommendations relevant to accommodation requests. Your university decides eligibility and which accommodations are provided.
I go to school outside Sacramento. Can I still be evaluated?
We serve students throughout California by telehealth when remote assessment is clinically appropriate. Some evaluations may require in-person testing.
What evaluations can I ask about?
ADHD testing, autism evaluations, pre-surgical psychological evaluations (bariatric, spinal cord stimulator, and other procedures), and comprehensive diagnostic testing.
