Position Summary
The Psychometrist provides essential psychological and neuropsychological testing support under the direct supervision of a licensed doctoral-level psychologist (PsyD or PhD). Working primarily on-site at our Albuquerque, NM facility, the Psychometrist is responsible for the standardized administration, scoring, and behavioral observation of psychological and neuropsychological test batteries. The role operates entirely within the scope of technician-level practice — results interpretation and clinical diagnosis remain the exclusive responsibility of the supervising psychologist.
This is a full-time W2 position with a hybrid schedule: approximately 70% of work is performed in the clinic (on-site test administration, patient coordination, supervision meetings) and 30% is performed remotely (administrative tasks, test scoring review, documentation, and data entry). The flex remote component is a benefit of this role, not a routine daily arrangement.
Billing for technician-administered testing services is conducted under CPT codes 96138 (first 30 minutes of technician administration) and 96139 (each additional 30 minutes). A minimum of two tests per session is required to meet billing thresholds.
CPT billing codes 96138/96139 apply to this role
Key Responsibilities
The Psychometrist will be expected to perform the following duties with accuracy, professionalism, and strict adherence to standardized procedures:
1. Administer standardized psychological and neuropsychological test batteries following publisher-specified protocols. Typical patient episodes involve a minimum of six (6) distinct test instruments per evaluation.
2. Score all administered tests using standardized normative methods; transcribe results accurately to data summary sheets for review by the supervising psychologist.
3. Record detailed behavioral observations throughout each testing session, including patient demeanor, engagement level, response patterns, attention, effort, and any irregularities that may affect test validity.
4. Coordinate patient scheduling and testing room availability in collaboration with the supervising psychologist to ensure efficient clinic workflow and appropriate session sequencing.
5. Maintain all test materials, protocols, stimulus books, response booklets, and testing room equipment in proper condition; report damaged or depleted materials promptly.
6. Verify patient identity and ensure informed consent processes are completed prior to the initiation of any testing session, in compliance with applicable privacy and clinical standards.
7. Assist with documentation and data entry in the Electronic Health Record (EHR) system, including logging behavioral observations, session notes, and test completion status.
8. Utilize designated flex remote days for administrative tasks including test scoring review, data summary preparation, EHR documentation, and correspondence as directed by the supervising psychologist.
9. Attend weekly supervision meetings with the supervising psychologist (in-person or via approved virtual platform) to review caseload, discuss testing observations, and receive clinical direction.
10. Maintain strict confidentiality of all patient health information in accordance with HIPAA and applicable state regulations.
