Psychology at the Intersection of Cognition and Mental Health

Psychologists frequently work with patients where cognition, behavior, mood, learning, and functional capacity intersect—across private practice, clinical evaluation, workers’ compensation, and telepsychology settings.

Psychologists routinely encounter questions such as:

Is cognitive impairment contributing to mood, attention, or behavioral concerns?
Is observed impairment consistent over time or situation-specific?
Is further neurological evaluation warranted?
How should cognitive findings be documented objectively and consistently?

BrainCheck provides standardized, objective cognitive assessment that complements psychological evaluation, supports longitudinal tracking, and integrates into in-person, hybrid, and fully virtual psychology workflows.

Mood & Behavioral Symptoms

GAD-7
GDS
NPI-Q
PTSD Screeners

Functional & Dementia Staging

Dementia Severity Rating Scale (DSRS)
Functional Staging Tools (FAST)

Caregiver & Social Context

Zarit Burden Interview (ZBI)
PRAPARE

Built for Virtual Psychology

Many psychology visits are conducted remotely. BrainCheck is designed to work fully online or in clinic, on any device.

Psychologists use BrainCheck to:

Administer assessments before, between, or after sessions
Review results asynchronously
Incorporate findings into evaluation reports
Track cognitive change longitudinally without requiring in-office testing

All results are available through a secure, web-based clinician portal and can be incorporated into clinical documentation and reports.

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 psychology.

When should psychologists include cognitive testing in an evaluation?

When cognition may be contributing to mood, attention, behavior, learning, or functional concerns. BrainCheck adds standardized, objective cognitive data to psychological evaluations without replacing clinician judgment or diagnosis.

Can cognitive impairment look like ADHD, depression, anxiety, or behavioral issues?

It can overlap. BrainCheck helps psychologists add objective cognitive results alongside symptom and behavioral measures to support differential diagnosis and referral decisions.

Can cognitive testing be done in telepsychology or hybrid practice models?

Yes. BrainCheck is designed to work fully online or in clinic, on any device, so psychologists can administer assessments before/between/after sessions and review results asynchronously in a secure clinician portal.

What tools can be combined with cognitive assessment for a more complete psychology workup?

BrainCheck includes 19+ validated screeners and supports custom protocols that combine cognitive assessment with symptom/behavior, functional, and caregiver/social context tools (e.g., GAD-7, GDS, NPI-Q, PTSD screeners; DSR; ZBI; PRAPARE; PROMIS-10).

How can psychologists document cognitive findings objectively and consistently over time?

BrainCheck provides standardized results that can be incorporated into evaluation reports and used for longitudinal tracking, helping practices standardize documentation across providers and follow-up assessments.
