Potential Funding Sources
Unfortunately, private health insurance, Medicare and Medicaid do not reimburse for driver evaluations or driver training services. Health insurance companies consider driving a priviledge not a medical necessity.
Potential funding sources for services include:
Employment and Independence for People with Disabilities (Formerly NC Vocational Rehabilitation Services)
North Carolina Independent Living Program
NC Division of Services for the Blind
Workers Compensation Providers
School Systems
Private/Self-pay
Payment or Authorization Requirements
If you plan to have a third party pay for the driver assessment, authorization must be received in our office prior to scheduling the appointment. Third party payers often include Vocational Rehabilitation, Independent Living Rehab Services, Veterans Administration, Workman’s Compensation and Family Trusts and others. Please contact us with any questions regarding other options.
If you are paying privately for your assessment, a deposit will be required one week prior to the date of your assessment. This deposit ensures your attendance to the appointment held for you. If you are unable to keep the appointment we appreciate knowing as soon as possible so others can be scheduled.
We can assist with securing an authorization for services for clients with a funding source.
If the client is private/self-pay, prepayment is required to schedule services.
