Neuropsychological Evaluations for Retired NFL Players
Dr. Bayer is contracted to provide neuropsychological evaluations as part of the NFL Concussion Settlement. Retired NFL players who have opted into the settlement may receive comprehensive, accurate, and objective neuropsychological assessments through either the Baseline Assessment Program (BAP) or the Monetary Award Fund (MAF). See below for additional information:
Baseline Assessment Program (BAP)
The BAP offers baseline neuropsychological and neurological evaluations to determine whether a retired player is experiencing neurocognitive impairment.
Exams are paid for by the BAP Administrator using funds from the Settlement. There is no cost to the player or their family.
To schedule a BAP exam, players must contact the BAP Administrator directly.
Monetary Award Fund (MAF)
The MAF pathway allows players to pursue evaluations to support a claim for a monetary award.
Evaluations must be authorized by a qualified MAF Physician, and a physician locator is available on the NFL Concussion Settlement website.
Fees for MAF evaluations are the responsibility of the player or their legal counsel. Contact Dr. Bayer for pricing and scheduling.
