Cost of ADHD Assessment in California
Understanding how fees are determined, what a comprehensive ADHD evaluation includes, and why report quality matters for accommodations and treatment planning.
How fees are determined
ADHD assessment fees depend on complexity, whether collateral input is needed, and the timeline for completion. We provide a clear written quote after a brief intake conversation — the quoted fee includes the core evaluation, written report, and feedback session.
We do not publish fixed prices on this site because every evaluation is scoped individually. Request an assessment or call to discuss your situation and receive a personalized fee quote.
What affects cost
Several factors can influence the final fee:
- Need for collateral input from a partner, parent, or colleague
- Complex diagnostic picture requiring additional testing
- Prior evaluations that need review and comparison
- Expedited timeline requests
- Additional documentation letters beyond the standard report
What is included
A comprehensive ADHD assessment fee typically includes clinical intake, structured diagnostic interview, validated testing, scoring and interpretation, a detailed written report, and a feedback meeting.
Reports are designed for practical use with employers, universities, disability services offices, and treatment providers.
Why cheaper options may not suffice
Brief online screeners, subscription-based ADHD apps, and non-psychologist assessments rarely meet the documentation standards employers and universities require.
If you need a defensible diagnosis and formal report, a licensed psychologist's comprehensive evaluation is the appropriate path — and typically prevents costly re-testing later.
Fees are quoted individually after intake. Insurance coverage for ADHD assessment varies by plan; we can provide superbills for out-of-network reimbursement when applicable.
