How much does an online ADHD assessment cost?

Short answer: it depends. Typical costs fall into three tiers:

• Free/low-cost screening — $0–$20

  • Online self-screeners (Adult ADHD Self‑Report Scale, CHADD resources) or brief quizzes. Good for initial screening but not a diagnosis.

• Telehealth/primary-care/psychiatry diagnostic visit — about $75–$400 for the initial evaluation

  • Many telehealth psychiatry or primary‑care visits that include an ADHD diagnostic evaluation run roughly $100–$300 per initial visit if paid out‑of‑pocket. Primary‑care visits or cheaper telehealth platforms may be toward the lower end; board‑certified psychiatrists and longer evaluations are toward the higher end.

• Comprehensive neuropsychological testing — $1,000–$5,000+

  • If you need in‑depth testing (neuropsychological battery, learning disability workups), expect multiple hours and much higher fees; often done in person by psychologists.

Ongoing medication management/therapy: expect follow‑up psychiatry visits $50–$250 each (or a monthly subscription $60–300+) and therapy sessions $80–250/session.

Factors that change cost

• Provider type: psychiatrist > psychologist > primary‑care physician/NP in typical pricing.
• Depth of evaluation: brief clinical interview vs. multi‑hour testing battery.
• Location and insurance: in‑network providers may only require your usual copay or coinsurance; out‑of‑pocket telehealth prices vary.
• Company model: subscription services bundle ongoing care; single‑visit services charge per visit.

Examples of online services (to check; prices vary and may change)

• Done (getdone.com) — specialized in adult ADHD care and medication management; convenient for diagnosis + ongoing meds (subscription model).
• ADHD Online (adhdonline.com) — focuses on ADHD evaluations and offers an online assessment route; often lower cost than full neuropsych testing.
• PlushCare — telehealth primary care and psychiatry visits; good for single psychiatric evaluations and medication management; accepts some insurance.
• Teladoc / Amwell — large telehealth platforms with psychiatry options; useful if you already use them or have insurance coverage.
• Cerebral — subscription mental‑health service (therapy + medication management); has offered ADHD services in the past; convenient for ongoing care but check current availability and pricing.
• Local community clinics or university psychology clinics — often offer sliding scale or reduced‑fee comprehensive testing.

Practical tips

• If you have insurance, call member services and ask about coverage for psychiatric/psychological evaluations and telehealth psychiatry—this can greatly reduce costs.
• If you only want to know whether ADHD is likely, start with free ASRS screening and then a single telehealth psychiatric visit if screening is positive.
• If you need documentation for school/work accommodations or suspect multiple conditions, plan for a comprehensive neuropsychological evaluation.
• Ask any online provider up front: “What does the evaluation include, what’s the total cost, do you prescribe controlled stimulants via telehealth, and do you accept my insurance?”

If you tell me whether you want the cheapest option, a quick diagnosis+meds, or a full evaluation for accommodations, I can suggest 2–3 specific providers and estimated current prices for your situation.
