ADHD Assessment Cost UK: What the Fee Should Cover

What to compare when looking at ADHD assessment costs in the UK, including clinical assessment, developmental evidence, feedback, reports, follow-up and prescribing limits.

Direct answerThe cheapest ADHD assessment is not necessarily the best value. Compare what is clinically included, who takes responsibility, how developmental and differential evidence is handled, whether a written report and feedback are included, and what happens if ADHD is not supported.

What usually drives assessment cost

Fees reflect clinician time, complexity, history taking, assessment measures, review of records, formulation, feedback and report writing. Providers package these elements differently, so two headline prices may not describe equivalent services.

The Focused Care Psychology UK fee

The current fee for an ADHD assessment is £650. The fee should be considered alongside the stated scope, feedback, report and limitations rather than interpreted as a promise of diagnosis or medication.

Questions to ask before paying

Ask who will assess you, which professional registration applies, whether the report is included, how missing developmental evidence is handled, whether there are extra charges and whether the service is suitable for the intended use of the report.

Medication may be a separate cost and pathway

Psychological assessment does not itself provide a prescription. If medication is wanted, an appropriately qualified medical prescriber will make an independent decision, which may involve additional assessment, physical checks, monitoring and fees.

Avoid paying for certainty

A legitimate assessment cannot guarantee a diagnosis. The purpose is to reach the most defensible clinical conclusion from the available evidence, including when that conclusion is that ADHD is not supported.
