Brain Function Testing by a Trained Technician

Virginia rates for HCPCS 96119

This covers a battery of standardized tests measuring memory, problem-solving, attention, and other thinking skills, given by a trained technician working under a psychologist's supervision rather than by the psychologist directly. The technician administers and scores the tests, and the results are later reviewed and interpreted by the supervising psychologist. This type of testing is often used to evaluate concerns such as memory loss, a head injury, or the effects of a medical condition on thinking skills.
