Two Adult ADHD Evaluation Pathways for Main Line Adults
Adults seek ADHD evaluations for different reasons.
Some want answers and plan to continue treatment with the same provider afterward.
Others primarily need a comprehensive standalone diagnostic evaluation and documentation while continuing treatment elsewhere.
ADHD Philadelphia offers two distinct adult ADHD evaluation pathways so you can choose the service that matches what you are actually seeking.
Pathway 1 — ADHD Evaluation + Ongoing Care
$300 Total Initial Evaluation
This pathway is designed for adults who want an ADHD evaluation and plan to establish ongoing ADHD treatment with ADHD Philadelphia.
$150 — Initial ADHD Consultation
The initial consultation reviews areas such as:
Current ADHD symptoms
Childhood and developmental history
Attention and executive-function difficulties
Functional impairment
Work or academic functioning
Relationships and daily responsibilities
Mental health history
Medical history
Sleep
Current medications
Substance-use considerations
Conditions that may resemble or occur alongside ADHD
The goal is not simply to determine whether you report ADHD symptoms.
The goal is to understand your broader clinical picture and determine whether ADHD is the most appropriate explanation for the difficulties you are experiencing.
$150 — ADHD Testing & Results Appointment
ADHD testing, standardized questionnaires, clinical findings, and other relevant information are integrated with the broader diagnostic evaluation.
Testing methods and standardized measures are selected according to clinical appropriateness.
Your results and diagnostic findings are reviewed with you, and when ADHD is diagnosed, individualized treatment recommendations and next steps are discussed.
Total initial evaluation: $300
This pathway is intended for adults establishing ongoing ADHD treatment with ADHD Philadelphia.
Ongoing Treatment
Ongoing ADHD treatment and medication-management appointments are $150 each.
To see how consultation, testing, diagnosis, and ongoing treatment fit together, review the ADHD Philadelphia Patient Journey.

Pathway 2 — ADHD Testing & Evaluation Only
$500 Comprehensive Standalone Diagnostic Evaluation

It may be appropriate when your primary goal is:
Diagnostic clarification
A comprehensive ADHD evaluation
Diagnostic documentation
Having evaluation findings available as part of care provided elsewhere
Better understanding whether ADHD may explain longstanding difficulties with attention or executive functioning
$350 — Initial Comprehensive Diagnostic Evaluation
The evaluation may include:
Detailed clinical interview
Current ADHD symptoms
Developmental and childhood history
Functional impairment assessment
Work and academic functioning
Executive-function difficulties
Medical and psychiatric history

$150 — Diagnostic Integration, Results & Recommendations
Clinical information, testing, questionnaires, available records, functional history, and relevant differential-diagnosis considerations are integrated before a diagnostic conclusion is reached.
Your findings are reviewed with you along with appropriate recommendations.
Total ADHD Testing & Evaluation Only fee: $500
This pathway is a standalone diagnostic service and does not include ongoing ADHD treatment appointments.
Diagnostic Documentation
Diagnostic documentation is generally completed within 7 days after all required appointments, testing, questionnaires, records, and requested information have been completed and received.
The seven-day period begins after all required components of the evaluation have been completed or received—not necessarily after the first appointment.

Which ADHD Evaluation Pathway Should I Choose?

This pathway includes:
$150 Initial ADHD Consultation
plus
$150 ADHD Testing & Results Appointment
Ongoing treatment and medication-management appointments are $150 each.
Choose ADHD Testing & Evaluation Only — $500 if:

ADHD Testing Is Only One Part of an Adult ADHD Diagnosis
Computerized testing and standardized ADHD rating scales can provide useful clinical information.
However, no single computerized test, questionnaire, online ADHD quiz, or symptom checklist can determine by itself whether an adult has ADHD.
A comprehensive adult ADHD evaluation considers factors such as:
Current symptoms
Relevant childhood and developmental history
Whether symptoms occur across important areas of life
Functional impairment
Work or academic functioning
Medical history
Psychiatric history
Sleep
Current medications
Substance-use considerations
Alternative explanations for symptoms
Possible co-occurring conditions
Standardized questionnaires
Testing information
Testing contributes information to the diagnostic process.
It does not replace clinical evaluation and professional diagnostic judgment.

Why Adult ADHD Can Be Missed Until Later in Life
Many adults on the Main Line seek an ADHD evaluation after years—or even decades—of compensating for difficulties they did not realize could be related to ADHD.
They may have completed college, built successful careers, raised families, started businesses, or taken on leadership roles while privately struggling with:
Chronic procrastination
Difficulty beginning important tasks
Poor time estimation
Missed deadlines
Working memory problems
Disorganization
Losing track of responsibilities
Difficulty prioritizing
Inconsistent productivity
Mental exhaustion from constantly compensating
Difficulty completing work without deadline pressure
Feeling capable but unable to perform consistently
Professional or academic success does not automatically rule out ADHD.
For some adults, increased responsibilities eventually overwhelm the systems they previously used to compensate.

A Comprehensive Evaluation Looks Beyond ADHD Symptoms
Difficulty focusing does not automatically mean ADHD.
Problems with attention, concentration, motivation, memory, organization, or productivity can occur for many reasons.
A careful adult ADHD evaluation may consider whether symptoms could be better explained by—or occurring alongside—concerns such as:
Anxiety
Depression
Sleep problems
Chronic stress
Substance use
Medication effects
Medical conditions
Other psychiatric conditions
Other neurodevelopmental concerns
Environmental or situational factors
This differential-diagnosis process is one reason ADHD Philadelphia does not base diagnosis on a computerized test alone.
The goal is diagnostic clarity—not simply producing a positive test result.
Adult ADHD Treatment After Diagnosis
For adults who select the ADHD Evaluation + Ongoing Care pathway, treatment is individualized according to diagnosis, symptoms, functional impairment, health history, treatment goals, potential risks, treatment response, and patient preferences.
Treatment may include:
ADHD education
Medication management when clinically appropriate
Stimulant medication when appropriate
Non-stimulant medication
Medication monitoring
Executive-function strategies
Behavioral strategies
Lifestyle and environmental modifications
Therapy or coaching recommendations when appropriate
An ADHD diagnosis does not automatically guarantee that medication or stimulant medication will be prescribed.
Medication decisions are individualized and based on clinical appropriateness and safety.

Frequently Asked Questions About Adult ADHD Testing on the Main Line
How much does adult ADHD testing cost at ADHD Philadelphia?
There are two pathways.
ADHD Evaluation + Ongoing Care — $300 total initial evaluation
This consists of:
$150 initial ADHD consultation
$150 ADHD testing and results appointment
Ongoing treatment and medication-management appointments are $150 each.
ADHD Testing & Evaluation Only — $500
This is a comprehensive standalone diagnostic evaluation for adults who do not plan to establish ongoing treatment with ADHD Philadelphia at the time of the evaluation.
Why is the standalone ADHD evaluation $500 while ongoing-care evaluation is $300?
The services have different purposes and structures.
The $300 ADHD Evaluation + Ongoing Care pathway begins an ongoing treatment relationship with ADHD Philadelphia.
The $500 ADHD Testing & Evaluation Only pathway is a standalone diagnostic service intended for adults whose primary goal is comprehensive evaluation and diagnostic documentation rather than ongoing treatment through ADHD Philadelphia.
Can a computerized test diagnose adult ADHD?
No.
Computerized testing can provide useful clinical information, but ADHD diagnosis should not be based on computerized testing alone.
Clinical history, developmental patterns, symptoms, functional impairment, differential diagnosis, standardized information, and other relevant clinical factors must be considered together.
Can an adult be diagnosed with ADHD even if they were never diagnosed as a child?
Yes.
Many adults receive their first ADHD diagnosis in adulthood.
However, ADHD is a neurodevelopmental condition, so the evaluation examines whether relevant symptoms or patterns were present during childhood even if no formal diagnosis was made at that time.
What if I want my evaluation results to take to another provider?
The ADHD Testing & Evaluation Only — $500 pathway is designed for adults seeking a comprehensive standalone diagnostic evaluation and documentation without establishing ongoing treatment with ADHD Philadelphia.
How quickly is diagnostic documentation completed for the evaluation-only pathway?
Diagnostic documentation is generally completed within 7 days after all required appointments, testing, questionnaires, records, and requested information have been completed and received.
The timeframe begins once the required evaluation is complete—not necessarily after the first appointment.
Does an ADHD diagnosis mean I will automatically receive stimulant medication?
No.
Diagnosis does not guarantee stimulant medication or any particular medication.
Treatment recommendations are individualized according to diagnosis, medical and psychiatric history, potential contraindications and risks, symptoms, functional impairment, treatment goals, and clinical appropriateness.
Do I have to travel to Bala Cynwyd for my first appointment?
No.
Initial evaluations begin through secure telehealth for adults located in Pennsylvania.
In-person appointments may be scheduled after the initial telehealth appointment when clinically appropriate.
