etesting.center is a new internet portal where licensed/certified
professionals can refer their clients/patients to complete assessments that may be helpful in providing behavioral health care. Professionals
in practice are frequently asked to assist a patient or client in determining whether symptoms are severe enough to warrant a diagnosis. etesting.center
can help!
etesting.center uses the 'passcode referral method', the only available methodology that allows professionals to utilize every assessment tool
in a system without having to purchase anything. Registration to use etesting.center is free; the professional submits his/her credentials
and when approved, is provided with an etesting account. From this account ipasscodes can be issued to individuals in the professional's practice.
If desired, the professional can prepurchase assessments and bill the patient separately, or set up institutional payment for uses, so that financial
arrangements are transparent to the client/patient user. To watch a 3 minute video click here.
