Should I tell my doctor that I am doing neurofeedback?

We encourage you to tell your doctor that you are doing neurofeedback. With successful neurofeedback, medication may not be needed or might be needed in lower dosages. It is important for clients to talk to their prescribing physicians before making any changes to their medications.

Is Neurofeedback Covered by Insurance?

The vast majority of insurance companies do not cover neurofeedback. We strongly encourage clients to check with their provider since there have been some isolated cases where the insurance covered some of the services provided. A procedure code for biofeedback can be provided to the client upon request. Parents might have to strongly advocate for reimbursement by their insurance companies.
