Countries covered : France
How much does a neuropsychological assessment cost, and what is covered? The answer depends mainly on where it takes place (in private practice or within a care service).
This page reviews fees and reimbursement in 2026, and how to explain them clearly to families.
The price range in private practice
In private practice, practitioners set their own fees. A full assessment generally costs between €200 and €800, depending on the scope of the assessment and the location:
- Large cities (Paris, Lyon, Marseille): often €500 to €800.
- Elsewhere in France: more often €200 to €400.
The difference reflects the time an assessment involves (interview, test administration, scoring, report writing and feedback). (Indicative ranges.)
Reimbursement depends on the setting
What accounts for the fee?
An assessment is not a single consultation: it involves several hours of work across test administration, scoring and report writing. Being transparent about this helps the patient understand the fee.

Frequently asked questions
How much does a neuropsychological assessment cost?
In private practice, generally between €200 and €800 depending on its scope and location (often €500–€800 in a large city and €200–€400 elsewhere).

Do complementary health insurers reimburse the assessment?
Some do, through an allowance that is often capped (roughly €150 to €300 a year).
Why does an assessment cost more than a consultation?
Because it involves several hours of work: interview, test administration, scoring, report writing and feedback.

By referring them to a care service (CMP, CMPP or CAMSP) where appropriate and providing a clear invoice for their complementary health insurer.
