Your ADHD Therapists questions, answered

Answers to commonly asked questions from the experts on Thervo.

How much does ADHD testing cost?

The cost of ADHD testing depends on the type of evaluation you receive. An initial screening that includes basic ADHD testing costs $200 to $800. A comprehensive ADHD evaluation costs $1,000 to $4,500 on average.

ADHD testing costs vary widely depending on the provider, facility type, your location, and your insurance coverage. Some insurance plans cover most or all of the cost of testing.

How does ADHD testing work?

ADHD assessments generally start with a one-on-one consultation with a mental health professional such as a psychologist, psychiatrist, or specialized clinician. The healthcare provider then determines what additional testing is necessary, ranging from simple questionnaires to comprehensive psychological evaluations, medical examinations, and input from parents and educators.

Basic ADHD test

A basic ADHD screening typically includes:

  • Clinical interview: A healthcare professional will inquire about your symptoms, medical background, and any difficulties you're experiencing.
  • Standardized questionnaires: You may be asked to complete rating scales that evaluate ADHD symptoms.
  • Short cognitive tests: The clinician might administer brief assessments to measure attention, impulsivity, and other relevant cognitive functions.
  • Examination of medical and school records: Your provider may request access to previous documentation for a more complete understanding of your history.

Comprehensive ADHD evaluation

A thorough ADHD assessment is much more extensive and may encompass:

  • Detailed clinical interviews: These might involve not only the person being assessed but also family members, partners, or close friends.
  • Neuropsychological assessment: You may undergo a series of tests evaluating various cognitive functions, including attention, memory, information processing speed, and executive functioning.
  • Continuous performance evaluations: Some providers utilize computer-based tests that measure attention and impulsivity over an extended period.
  • Behavioral observations: In certain cases, particularly for children, the clinician may conduct observations in natural environments like home or school.
  • Physical examination: Your provider might require a standard medical check-up or laboratory work to exclude other conditions that mimic ADHD symptoms.
  • Supplementary information: The clinician may gather data from multiple sources, such as teachers, employers, or family members.

How can I get tested for ADHD?

To get an ADHD assessment, begin by consulting your primary care physician or a mental health specialist. They can either perform an initial evaluation or refer you to an expert who can conduct basic ADHD testing or a comprehensive assessment.

It's important to be prepared to discuss your symptoms, concerns, and how they're impacting your daily life. Additionally, consider bringing any relevant documentation, such as school records or work performance reviews, that might provide insight into your symptoms.

What does an ADHD test look like for adults?

ADHD testing for adults typically includes:

  • A comprehensive clinical interview about current symptoms and childhood history
  • Standardized rating scales and questionnaires
  • Cognitive assessments
  • Review of academic, professional, and medical history
  • Possible neuropsychological testing

The process is designed to be thorough and may involve multiple sessions to gather all necessary information. Some providers may also request input from family members or partners to get a more complete picture of your symptoms and their impact on your life.

How long does ADHD testing take?

An initial evaluation and basic ADHD test usually takes 1 to 3 hours, while a comprehensive evaluation may span multiple sessions totaling 6 to 8 hours or more. The exact duration depends on the complexity of your symptoms, the number of additional assessments required, and the healthcare provider's or clinic's specific protocols. It's important to discuss the expected timeline with your provider at the start of the evaluation process.

How long does an ADHD diagnosis take?

The time it takes to get an ADHD diagnosis can range from a single visit to several weeks, depending on the case complexity and evaluation type. After testing is complete, your healthcare provider may provide a diagnosis on the same day or take a few days to a couple of weeks to analyze the results. In some cases, especially if additional information or testing is needed, the diagnostic process may take longer. It's crucial to follow up with your provider if you haven't received results within the expected timeframe.

When did ADHD become a diagnosis?

The American Psychiatric Association (APA) initially included "Attention Deficit Disorder (with or without hyperactivity)" in the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM-III) in 1980. The name was updated to "Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder" (ADHD) in a 1987 revision of the DSM-III.

In 1994, the APA published the DSM-IV, which identified three ADHD subtypes—predominantly inattentive, predominantly hyperactive-impulsive, and combined type. The DSM-IV also acknowledged that ADHD is not exclusively a childhood disorder and symptoms persist into adulthood.

It's worth noting that while the formal diagnosis and terminology is relatively recent, descriptions of ADHD-like symptoms have appeared in medical literature for over two centuries.

Is ADHD a mental health diagnosis?

Yes, ADHD is classified as a neurodevelopmental disorder in the DSM-5, which mental health professionals use to diagnose mental health conditions. While it affects behavior and cognitive functions, it's important to note that ADHD is a complex condition with neurobiological origins. This classification helps ensure that ADHD is taken seriously as a medical condition and that those affected can access appropriate treatment and support. However, it's crucial to understand that having ADHD doesn't define a person's entire identity or potential.

Does insurance cover ADHD testing?

Many insurance plans cover ADHD testing, particularly when your healthcare provider deems it medically necessary. However, coverage varies significantly between providers and plans. Check with your insurance company about specific coverage details, including any deductibles or co-pays that may apply.

 Some plans may require pre-authorization or have limits on the types of tests or number of sessions covered. It's also worth inquiring about coverage for follow-up appointments and potential treatments, as these can be ongoing expenses.

Does Medicaid cover ADHD testing for adults?

Medicaid coverage for ADHD testing in adults varies by state. While many states do cover ADHD evaluations and treatment for adults, some have restrictions or require prior authorization. Consult your state's Medicaid office or ask your healthcare provider for specific information about coverage in your area. It's important to note that even if testing is covered, there may be limitations on which providers you can see or what types of treatments are covered. Some states may also have different coverage policies for adults versus children with ADHD.

Pamela M.
I cannot recommend Stephy more highly. She is phenomenal at what she does. I've never had a better massage in my 20 years of having massages. She will not disappoint you. And the prices are affordable which makes a huge difference for me. I can actually afford to get regular massages here instead of a once and awhile treat.

Over the past 10 weeks I’ve had the absolute pleasure of working with coach Darly. Her unique ability to quickly assess and guide me through the development, growth of my mindset and confidence with a pragmatic action plan was invaluable. Darly routinely provided thought provoking exercises and reading assignments which further helped to refine my foundation, skills and problem-solving techniques. The other benefit I gained from my coaching experience was her truly mindful approach motivating and holding me accountable. I was appropriately challenged to integrate my personal goals into my professional action plans. She expertly reinforced the need to balance all aspects of my life with a focus on self, career, community, family and spirituality. I would strongly recommend Darly as a life and career coach who will profoundly impact your personal life and career! - Debra H.
