    "description": "The professional time a psychologist or physician spends making sense of a neuropsychological test battery: pulling the scores together with the patient's history, medical records and interview, deciding what the pattern means, planning treatment, writing the formal report, and going through the findings with the patient or family. It covers the thinking and reporting rather than the sitting-with-the-patient administration of the tests, which is recorded under different codes. This entry covers the first hour of that professional work.",
