Coverage is verified before your patient's appointment. ### Will I receive a copy of the report? Yes. Both the referring provider and the patient receive a copy of the final report. One of our specialists is available to review the analysis with you and answer questions about the findings. ### How long does the appointment take? Approximately 30 to 45 minutes total, with about 20 minutes of active recording. Patients can drive themselves home and return to normal activities immediately. There's no recovery time and no medication involved. ### What conditions is qEEG most useful for? Depression, anxiety, ADHD, PTSD, OCD, sleep disorders, traumatic brain injury, addiction, and early dementia screening are among the highest-yield indications. It's also valuable for objectively tracking treatment response over time. ### Does brain mapping replace traditional psychiatric assessment? No. Brain mapping is a complement to clinical assessment, not a replacement. It adds objective functional data to the picture you build through history, exam, and self-report instruments. Clinical judgment still leads. ### Can I refer for treatment monitoring rather than diagnosis? Absolutely. Many of our referrals are for objective tracking of treatment response, particularly for patients on complex medication regimens or those who have plateaued in talk therapy. Repeat scans at 4 to 6 month intervals are ideal. --- Source: https://foundationmedicalgroup.org/brain-mapping-providers/ Phone: (800) 983-1974
