[QUOTE="OTE, post: 19059"] If your insurance won't cover a full evaluation at Levine then come up to Chapel Hill and we'll have lunch or something. This is the full multi-disciplinary evaluation. As Janet said, this is the state hospital and they take any insurance. If you can't afford the co-pay or deductible they'll work that out with you too. Problem with them is that the waiting list is very, very long. I don't know exactly what it is for your child's age right now but you can call and ask. I can assure you that this is a very good evaluation. I'd also ask the pediatrician for a referral to a multi-disciplinary. Print out the UNC and the Levine pages and take them to him explaining that you're concerned that it could be neurological or Pervasive Developmental Disorder (PDD) or psychiatric eg bipolar and you need him evaluated for all those. Hopefully he or she will know enough to undertstand why the interdisciplinary is best. You might also print off a checklist of symptoms of bipolar and Pervasive Developmental Disorder (PDD) and show the pediatrician why you re concerned. DO NOT LET THE pediatrician BULLY YOU! Your son needs the full evaluation and sending you to different docs who don't talk to each other is NOT the same! [/QUOTE]
