Objective Cognitive Assessment for Psychiatry Practices

Book a Demo

Psychiatry at the Intersection of Cognition and Mental Health

Psychiatry practices increasingly manage patients where mood, behavior, medication effects, and cognition overlap, often in virtual-first care environments.

Psychiatrists routinely face questions such as:

  • Is cognitive change contributing to depression, anxiety, or behavioral symptoms?
  • Are medications affecting cognition?
  • Is functional decline emerging alongside psychiatric illness?
  • Is referral to neurology or memory care warranted?

BrainCheck provides standardized, objective cognitive assessment that complements psychiatric evaluation, supports longitudinal care, and fits seamlessly into telepsychiatry and hybrid workflows.

"As far as cognitive assessments go, BrainCheck is the best. It makes a lot more sense to me than the MoCA or MMSE, which tell you very little about patterns over time. The level of detail BrainCheck provides is superior and it provides equal value to providers and patients alike."

Built for Virtual Psychiatry

Psychiatrists use BrainCheck to:

  • Administer assessments between or prior to virtual visits
  • Review results asynchronously
  • Discuss findings during telehealth sessions
  • Track cognitive change over time without requiring in-person testing

All results are available through a secure web-based clinician portal and can be documented in the medical record.

Man-Using

Reimbursement-Aligned Workflows

BrainCheck supports documentation across common cognitive-care workflows but does not determine billing, coding, coverage, or payment.

BrainCheck is designed to fit different practice models:

  • Fee-for-service: May support documentation for common E/M and CPT-based pathways used for cognitive evaluation and related services.
  • Value-based care: May support consistent documentation and longitudinal tracking to help teams deliver cognitive care over time.

Your questions, answered.

Key things to know about cognitive screening in psychiatry.

Why is cognitive assessment used in psychiatry?

BrainCheck adds standardized, objective cognitive data to psychiatric evaluation when mood, behavior, medication effects, and cognition overlap, without replacing clinical judgment.

Can cognitive testing be done in telepsychiatry?

Yes. BrainCheck is designed to work fully online on any device, so practices can administer assessments remotely and review results in a secure clinician portal.

How can psychiatrists track cognitive change over time?

BrainCheck supports baseline testing and repeat assessment so psychiatry practices can monitor cognitive change longitudinally across ongoing care.

What screeners can be used alongside cognitive assessment in psychiatry?

BrainCheck includes 20+ validated screeners and allows custom protocols combining cognitive assessment with mood/behavior, functional, and caregiver tools (e.g., GAD-7, GDS, NPI-Q, PTSD screeners; DSR; ZBI; PRAPARE; PROMIS-10).

Does cognitive testing diagnose dementia or replace evaluation?

No. BrainCheck provides objective results to support clinician-led interpretation, and BrainCheck Assess is not intended to be used as a stand-alone diagnostic device.
