Cost / fees
The total evaluation cost is $125. The provider states that ESA evaluations are a specialty service and are not covered by medical insurance. Additional form fees may apply after the stated no-charge period.
About this service
The evaluation combines the WHODAS 2.0 functioning assessment with an in-person clinical interview about how a disability affects daily functioning and whether an emotional support animal could alleviate symptoms. The clinician evaluates the individual rather than the animal and determines whether the need for an ESA letter is established. The provider no longer performs ESA assessments or letters for air travel.
