Disability Determinations
Behavioral Health Clinic LLC provides Social Security disability consultative examinations for Louisiana Disability Determination Services (DDS) in Bossier City, Louisiana. Andrew J. Thrasher III, PhD, is a licensed clinical psychologist, and Regan Stevens Thrasher, PMHNP-BC, is a board-certified psychiatric mental health nurse practitioner. Both providers conduct independent psychological consultative examinations on behalf of DDS for claimants throughout Northwest Louisiana and the surrounding region.
DDS examinations are referral-based and scheduled through Louisiana Disability Determination Services. Claimants do not self-refer for these examinations. If you have been scheduled for a consultative examination at Behavioral Health Clinic LLC, please bring a valid photo ID and arrive no more than 10 minutes before your scheduled appointment time. Arriving early will not result in being seen early. These examinations are conducted in person only at our Bossier City office.
