ADHD Care Online & In-Person

Convenient 1-Hour Adult ADHD Testing for Evaluation, Diagnosis and Accommodation Letters

At Fine Tune Psychiatry, we provide efficient 1-hour ADHD testing—available both in-person and through virtual appointments—for adults seeking a diagnosis or documentation for workplace and academic accommodations. If you’re looking for online ADHD treatment that takes insurance—Fine Tune is the provider you’re looking for.

While we also offer comprehensive neuropsychological evaluations when needed, most adults pursuing accommodations do not require full-day assessments. Below, you’ll find guidance on who may benefit from ADHD testing, what’s included in our evaluations and how to choose the best assessment type for your needs.

Do I Need Adult ADHD Testing?

Diagnosing ADHD in adults requires expertise in mental health care. Many symptoms like inattention, forgetfulness or impulsivity may overlap with other concerns such as anxiety, depression, bipolar disorder, autism or substance use. That’s why working with a qualified professional for ADHD testing is so important—our clinicians can distinguish ADHD from similar conditions and help you find the most appropriate path forward.

Adults commonly seek evaluations when they are:

• Struggling with focus, follow-through or impulsive behavior
• Facing difficulties with organization or time management
• Experiencing underperformance at work or school
• Referred by a doctor, therapist, educator or professional licensing board

A formal ADHD diagnosis is often necessary to:

• Begin treatment or medication through a primary care provider
• Access academic accommodations such as extended time or modified coursework
• Qualify for exam support on standardized or licensing tests
• Request reasonable workplace accommodations under HR or ADA policies

Fine Tune Psychiatry also provides comprehensive ADHD evaluation, testing and treatment for children and adolescents, with fellowship-trained, board-certified child & adolescent psychiatrists and psychiatric nurse practitioners experienced in supporting young people with the disorder.

What Happens During an ADHD Testing Session?

In a typical appointment, your provider will explore how your current symptoms have affected you over time—starting in childhood—and how they show up in personal, academic and professional settings. This thorough clinical interview may be supported by feedback from a family member or partner and standardized behavior rating scales. The goal is to identify ADHD symptoms and rule out any overlapping or co-occurring conditions that might affect treatment.

Is a 1-Hour ADHD Evaluation Enough?

For many individuals, a focused one-hour appointment is sufficient for an accurate diagnosis and the documentation needed for accommodations. These sessions are designed to assess symptoms quickly and thoroughly, ensuring that other conditions are considered. Some organizations—especially licensing boards—may request a comprehensive neuropsychological report with formal cognitive testing. If that’s the case, we can refer you to one of our psychologists who specializes in in-depth ADHD testing.

Can I Book a One-Time ADHD Evaluation for Accommodations?

Yes. One-time adult ADHD evaluations are available for those needing a diagnosis and documentation without ongoing treatment. While we recommend follow-up care for long-term success, it is not required. However, please note that a one-time evaluation does not include prescription services or continued follow-up unless you establish care with one of our providers.

Why Ongoing ADHD Treatment Is Important

ADHD often exists alongside other mental health challenges like anxiety, mood disorders or substance use—all of which can impact work, relationships and overall quality of life. While quick online options exist, they often lack board-certified providers and the clinical oversight necessary for safe, effective care. At Fine Tune Psychiatry, our licensed professionals take a comprehensive, ethical approach to care—ensuring that your treatment addresses your full mental health picture.

Why Continued Care Offers the Best Outcomes

Adult ADHD can lead to significant issues in everyday life, including job instability, financial trouble, relationship strain, legal concerns and co-occurring conditions such as substance abuse or depression. Studies show that people with ADHD are more likely to experience mood swings, nicotine dependence and even higher rates of car accidents. Partnering with a trained mental health expert—not just any online provider—ensures you get comprehensive treatment that accounts for these risks and complexities.

Cost of ADHD Testing

The standard rate for a 1-hour adult ADHD evaluation is $350 with a psychiatric nurse practitioner and $500 with most psychiatrists. Additional paperwork required by schools or employers may incur a small administrative fee (usually around $50).

When Is a Formal ADHD Diagnosis Required?

A diagnosis from a licensed mental health professional is often essential for:

• Academic accommodations in college or graduate school
• Support on standardized tests like the LSAT, MCAT or bar exam
• Employer accommodations under ADA guidelines

Each institution may have different documentation standards—some may accept evaluations from psychiatric providers, while others require a full neuropsychological assessment with formal cognitive testing from a licensed psychologist. Our team is happy to assist with either option, depending on your needs.

Can I Be Evaluated for ADHD Without Starting Ongoing Treatment?

Yes, but please be aware that a one-time evaluation does not include ongoing care or prescription management. While our providers prefer to support long-term ADHD treatment through therapy or medication, the one-time assessment is an option for those solely seeking documentation.

What Should I Ask Before Booking ADHD Testing?

Before scheduling your ADHD testing, we recommend asking your school, employer or licensing board the following:

• Will they accept a diagnosis and accommodation letter from a psychiatrist or psychiatric nurse practitioner?
• Do they require a full neuropsychological evaluation performed by a PhD or PsyD, including cognitive testing and a formal report?

If your institution requires the latter, we offer in-depth testing with our licensed psychologists—typically lasting 4 or more hours and suitable for high-stakes certification exams.
