View our assessment fees for children including the payment schedule, services fees, payment methods, and cancellation policy below.
The fee for the initial intake is separate from the assessment fee. The regular fee for the intake session is 20,000 yen (plus tax) for a 50-minute session. Apart from the regular fee, we offer a flexible-fee pricing structure/sliding scale fee for the intake session, based upon family/household income. Please note that the sliding scale fee is applicable only for clients who pay out-of-pocket. We apply the regular fee for those whose fee is covered by a third party (insurance company, EAP, etc.).

Services at TELL Counseling are not covered by Japan National Health Insurance.
Most foreign private insurance companies cover all or a portion of the cost of assessment when policy provisions such as pre-authorization or a referral by a medical doctor are met. For information on payment of a neuropsychological or psychoeducational assessment, you should contact your health care insurer directly to determine the specific authorization procedures that may be necessary.
TELL does not accept payments directly from third parties, but will provide an invoice for families for reimbursement.
