Who we are

At ADO Medical, we proudly partner with Primary Care Providers to bring our secure and comprehensive online ADHD Assessment, diagnosis, and Treatment to patients. Our rigorous, 250+ question Assessment uses reactive logic, patterned after the clinically comprehensive and thorough in-person assessment. Licensed psychologists analyze each Assessment and, if appropriate, provide a clinical diagnosis consistent with DSM-5 criteria. We offer Assessment services in all 50 states. We currently offer Treatment in 40 states.

How we operate

If you are looking to know more about us before you complete our referral form, this list of what we do, and do not do, should answer your questions about our practices.

Overall

WE DO

Collect Vitals at every visit
Refer patients to in-person clinicians when medically appropriate.
Prioritize the health and wellbeing of our patients above all else

WE DO NOT

Assessments

WE DO

Offer a rigorous Assessment with up to 250+ questions using reactive logic, following many of the same paths as an in-person Assessment.
Work with licensed psychologists to analyze Assessments and provide a clinical ADHD diagnosis consistent with DSM-5 criteria or a diagnosis of exclusion.
Offer Assessment services in all 50 states
Partner with each patient’s medical team, sharing clinical details and summaries of patient activity with you at the patient’s request and approval. No other organization in the industry prioritizes collaboration and partnership as we do.
Separate diagnosis and Treatment. The psychologist who reviews a patient’s Assessment and provides the diagnosis or exclusion is not the clinician who develops or manages the patient’s Treatment plan.
Affiliate with any pharmacy. Prescriptions are written for the patient to take to the local pharmacy of their choice.
Audit and identify inappropriate client behavior, screening all patients against their State’s controlled substance database and immediately discharging any patients who exhibit substance-seeking behaviors.

WE DO NOT

Require a subscription. Patients pay as they go for each individual Treatment appointment. No subscription or commitment is required.

Provide a diagnosis when it is not warranted based on the patient’s Assessment

About our Assessment
and diagnosis process

We designed our Assessment and diagnosis process to be accessible for patients without compromising clinical quality. Our Assessment is rigorous and comprehensive and each one is reviewed by a licensed clinician. Each Assessment involves the following:

Patient completes Assessment

Our comprehensive, dynamic Assessment typically takes 60-90 minutes to complete and can be done from the patient’s home and on their schedule.

Results delivered in 5 days

A licensed psychologist in the patient’s state will review the Assessment and provide an ADHD diagnosis or exclusion. The results and report are provided so that the patient can deliver them to their physician or choice of clinicians to discuss Treatment.

Initial visit with a clinician

Patients connect live with one of our clinicians typically within 7 days to set up a personalized treatment plan or can take their Assessment to their choice of clinicians to develop a Treatment plan.

The latest PHE UPDATES

August 2023

The U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) and the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) have extended the Public Health Emergency (PHE) flexibilities that allow patients to receive medications without an in-person exam or referral.

We highly recommend that all patients consider an annual physical examination and communicate regularly with their provider. An added bonus is that this proactive step can significantly expedite the prescription filling process at some pharmacies.
