Frequently Asked Questions

 Our ADHD evaluations are a flat rate of $350, which covers up to three sessions. This fee also includes your written report and general recommendations for next steps.  We offer emergency ADHD evaluations for individuals who need an assessment scheduled and completed within 72 hours. These expedited evaluations include a $150 emergency fee, bringing the total cost of the evaluation to $500. 

 An assessment is a broad term that encompasses various methods used to gather information about an individual’s mental health, behavior, or cognitive functioning. It can include anything from informal observations to formal tools like psychological tests or evaluations. Assessments are designed to provide a general understanding of an individual’s needs and guide further steps in treatment or support.

A psychological evaluation, which we provide, is a more structured process that includes a clinical interview called a biopsychosocial assessment (essentially gathering your life story), completing questionnaires, and analyzing the context of your responses. Our evaluations typically take 1 to 3 sessions and are often the "first step" in obtaining an ADHD diagnosis. For many, this is also the final step in gaining clarity and direction for their treatment.

Psychological testing is a more advanced and detailed form of assessment that is lengthier and more comprehensive. It can take 4 to 12 hours, either spread over multiple days or completed in one session, depending on the practice. Psychological testing is particularly helpful when symptoms overlap or when additional clarity is needed, such as for diagnosing autism spectrum disorder (ASD). It is a valuable tool for understanding complex conditions but is also more expensive and time-intensive.

We provide this clarification because terms like assessment, evaluation, and psychological testing are often used interchangeably, even by medical professionals, which can lead to confusion. Our team is here to help you determine if our services align with your needs and the requirements of your doctor, school, or employer.

 We do not accept insurance for ADHD evaluations, so the evaluation fee is private pay only. However, we do accept insurance for therapy services, including intake and ongoing sessions.

For therapy, we accept Aetna, Blue Cross Blue Shield, Blue Care Network, Cigna, Priority Health, and United Healthcare. For Medicaid, we accept Blue Cross Complete, McLaren, Priority Health, and United Healthcare.

Insurance plans are provider-specific, which means certain clinicians can take certain plans.

 We can get your evaluation scheduled for you in as little as 7 days in most cases depending on your availability. We are able to provide our evaluations both through Telehealth and in-person at our Plymouth office!
