About ADHD Online

We believe in timely and affordable assessment and treatment of ADHD by carefully vetted providers. We designed our process to make care accessible without compromising clinical quality or cutting corners.

How We Operate

If you are looking to know more about us before you fill a prescription from one of our providers, this list of what we do, and do not do, should answer your questions about our practices.

Overall

WE DO

Have a specific process and network of doctorate-level psychologists to review and diagnose assessments and a separate process and network of clinicians for treatment
Prioritize the health and wellbeing of our
patients above all else 
Conduct thorough background checks and extensively vetting for all providers
Look ahead to when the Ryan Haight Act
exemptions are lifted and plan for how we will
partner with physicians to comply

WE DO NOT

Compensate providers based on the number
of prescriptions they write
Use any type of subscription model

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 doctorate-level 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 like 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.

positive ADHD diagnoses they deliver
Provide a diagnosis when it is not warranted based on the patient’s assessment
Diagnose patients based only on a 15 or 30
minute telehealth visit

About Our Assessment
& 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
3-5 days

A doctorate-level 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.
