Who this page is for

Compare scope rather than price alone

Different providers may include different interviews, questionnaires, informant work, medical input, feedback, reports and aftercare. Two services with different prices may not be equivalent.

What the service can clarify

Who conducts and takes responsibility for the assessment
Whether developmental and multi-setting evidence is included
Whether feedback and a written report are included
Whether psychiatric review, medication or follow-up are separate services

Focused Care Psychology publishes an ADHD assessment fee of €600. Psychologists do not prescribe medication, and separate medical services are not implied by this fee.

The process

What to expect

Step 1

Ask what is included

Request a written description of the pathway, evidence, feedback, report and any exclusions.

Step 2

Check intended use

Ask whether the service is appropriate for your purpose and whether any third party has separate requirements.

Step 3

Compare total pathway cost

Consider possible medical, education, follow-up or additional professional costs rather than the first payment alone.

Questions to ask before paying

Ask who will conduct each stage, what qualifications and professional scope apply, how developmental evidence will be handled, whether the report is included and how uncertainty is explained.

Be cautious of any provider that guarantees a diagnosis, guarantees report acceptance or presents a short screening process as a full assessment.

This website cannot decide whether the service is suitable for you, provide a diagnosis, guarantee that another organisation will accept a report or provide emergency support. What is included, the evidence needed and the purpose of the report are discussed before an assessment begins.

Common questions

Frequently asked questions

Is €600 the total fee?

It is the published fee for the Focused Care Psychology ADHD assessment pathway. The agreed written scope should be checked before booking.

Does the fee include medication?

No. Psychologists do not prescribe, and a medical prescriber would make an independent decision.

Can I pay in instalments?

Payment-plan options are available and should be agreed in writing before assessment begins.
