Brief Neuropsych Test for Memory
R-BANS
For those concerned with memory issues of senior family members, I offer the R-BANS (Repeatable Battery for the Assessment of Neuropsychological Status). This is a screening for neuropsychological problems.
Areas tested:
1. Immediate Memory
2. Visuospatial/Constructional
3. Language
4. Attention
5. Delayed Memory
A history of the memory concerns is taken then the R-BANS is individually administered. After scoring, a report is written which can go to the patient or to their physician. If there appears to be a serious problem then the physician may refer them to a neurologist or to a neuropsychologist if more thorough testing is necessary. The R-Bans is done in a 90 minute session.
Fee for testing plus report to physician is $350. I take Medicare insurance or if you don't have Medicare, then a superbill is provided for you to submit to your insurance.
