Administrative Exams
Caseworkers:
For the time being, MindSights is no longer conducting Administrative Exams, Best Interest Evaluations or Relational Assessments through the ODHS Administrative Examination system. If psychological evaluation services are needed for diagnostic clarification, clinical case conceptualization and/or treatment planning, it may be possible to obtain those services under the Oregon Health Plan (assuming the CCO’s medically necessity requirements are met and we are contracted with the CCO in question). If you believe this might be the case, please ask the child’s behavioral health provider(s) to submit a referral to us directly. We’ll take it from there when it comes to completing/submitting any necessary pre-authorization paperwork the CCO requires!
If a child in ODHS custody in the Portland Metro area is in need of Administrative Exams, Best Interest Evaluations or Relational Assessments through the ODHS Administrative Examination system, it is our understanding that the Children’s Program is continuing to do these evaluations.
