As a physician or healthcare practitioner, you know how important cognitive screening is — and how rarely there’s time to do it properly during a standard office visit.
The MoCA (Montreal Cognitive Assessment) is the gold standard tool for detecting mild cognitive impairment, dementia, Alzheimer’s disease, TBI, and stroke-related cognitive changes. But administering and scoring it takes time that most busy practices don’t have.
That’s where I come in.
As a licensed occupational therapist with years of experience in cognitive assessment, I provide online MoCA testing services for physicians and healthcare practices, giving you a fast, affordable, professional cognitive screening for your patients without adding to your workload.
Why Add MoCA Testing to Your Practice?
A thorough cognitive assessment is one of the most underutilized tools in primary care. Adding cognitive screening to your practice can help you:
- Identify patients who are no longer safe to drive
- Determine if a patient can safely live alone or needs caregiver support
- Screen for early-stage Alzheimer’s and dementia before symptoms become severe
- Provide documentation for DMV referrals and neurologist consultations
- Support families in making informed decisions about placement and care
- Identify cognitive changes after TBI or stroke that affect functional recovery
Without regular screening, cognitive impairment often goes undetected until a crisis occurs like a fall, a car accident, or a patient found wandering. Early detection changes outcomes.
How Online MoCA Testing Works
The process is simple and designed to fit seamlessly into your existing workflow:
- Refer your patient — send me a referral for any patient you’re concerned about
- Patient completes assessment — I conduct the 15-20 minute MoCA via video call with a caregiver or family member present
- You receive the report — a detailed written report with scores, findings, and clinical recommendations is delivered within 24 hours
- Act on the results — use the report to guide your next steps including neurologist referral, DMV reporting, or care planning
The entire process requires no additional time from you or your staff — just a referral.

Every MoCA assessment includes:
Documentation suitable for medical records
Full MoCA score with domain breakdown (memory, attention, language, visuospatial, executive function, orientation)

Frequently Asked Questions — MoCA Testing for Physicians
How is online MoCA testing different from in-office testing?
Online MoCA testing is conducted via video call and is just as valid as in-person administration when done correctly. Research published in the Journal of Alzheimer’s Disease confirms that telephone and video-administered MoCA assessments show strong correlation with in-person scores. The advantage for your practice is that patients can complete the assessment from home with a caregiver present — removing transportation barriers and making screening accessible to your most vulnerable patients.
How quickly will I receive the report?
Reports are delivered within 24 hours of the completed assessment. The report includes the full MoCA score, domain breakdown, clinical interpretation, and specific recommendations for next steps. Reports are formatted for inclusion in medical records and can be used to support neurologist referrals, DMV reporting, or care planning discussions with families.
Do I need to be present during the assessment?
No — the assessment is conducted directly with your patient and their caregiver or family member. You simply refer the patient, I conduct the assessment, and you receive the completed report. This requires no additional time from you or your staff beyond the initial referral.
What qualifications do you have to administer the MoCA?
I am a licensed occupational therapist with over 10 years of clinical experience in acute care, hand therapy, and cognitive assessment. Occupational therapists are specifically trained in functional cognitive assessment and are qualified to administer and interpret the MoCA. I have administered hundreds of cognitive screenings across acute care, outpatient, and telehealth settings.
Can MoCA results be used for DMV reporting in California?
Yes — MoCA results can be used to support DMV reporting decisions in California. Physicians are required to report patients with conditions that may affect driving safety to the California DMV. A professional MoCA assessment provides objective documentation of cognitive status to support that reporting decision. A DMV-specific report can be included with the assessment at no additional cost.
How do I refer a patient for online MoCA testing?
Simply fill out the contact form below or email me directly with your patient’s name, contact information, and the reason for referral. I will contact the patient within 24 hours to schedule the assessment. The completed report will be sent directly to you within 24 hours of the assessment being completed.
What is the cost for ongoing monthly screening packages?
Monthly packages are priced based on the volume of assessments needed. Individual assessments are approximately $100 per patient. Practices with ongoing screening needs — such as geriatric practices, neurology offices, or primary care practices with large older adult populations — can contact me to discuss volume pricing and a streamlined referral workflow.
