We gladly accept Blue Cross Blue Shield, Aetna, and United Healthcare plans. If you have a different provider, we’re happy to discuss private pay options to make the process as accessible as possible.

The full diagnostic process involves two in-person visits about a week apart. The first appointment lasts around 90 minutes and includes testing and an interview. During the second visit, we review your detailed diagnostic report together and discuss next steps for treatment or support.

During your in-clinic diagnostic appointment, we will conduct a 45-minute diagnostic interview. You will take two standardized ADHD assessments (including a Continuous Performance Test) on a computer in our testing room. We will collect outside assessments from two adults who know you well enough to answer questions about your symptoms. For your follow-up appointment about a week after your diagnostic appointment, you’ll participate in a 55-minute feedback session to help you understand any diagnostic information contained in your report. After your follow-up visit, we will upload your 10–12-page diagnostic report into your profile in TherapyAppointment for you to have. If you want, we can also fax your diagnostic report to your primary care provider.

The typical out-of-pocket expense for a full evaluation is the co-pay for your initial diagnostic appointment and the one-week follow-up session. Before your first visit, we’ll confirm your specific coverage with your insurance provider so you’ll know the exact amount ahead of time—no surprises.

Our clinic does not provide medication or medical treatment. Clients who are diagnosed with ADHD will be referred back to their pediatrician or primary care provider to discuss medication options, if desired. However, if a client does not have a primary care provider, we have developed a strong referral list and are happy to refer our clients to a primary care provider.

We ask the legal guardian for every minor client to identify the name of one parent and one teacher to whom we can send an ADHD assessment. For adult clients, we ask that you identify the name of two adults who know you well enough to answer a few questions about your ADHD symptoms. We do this in order to collect a matrix of data from multiple sources about your symptoms. Diagnostic work is complicated and the ability to collect enough information is crucial to the process. We appreciate your understanding the importance of this step.

You can help by completing all requested forms in detail and sharing examples of symptoms you’ve noticed over time. Old report cards or notes from teachers can also be helpful but aren’t required. The more context we have, the better we can understand your experience.
