For patients considering privately funding an ADHD assessment
When patients choose to seek privately funded healthcare, a number of fundamental principles apply. Please read this guidance before paying for an ADHD assessment outside the NHS. If you
have any questions or concerns, please speak with your GP.
It is important that patients are fully aware of the longer-term implications of privately funding elements of their healthcare, including what to expect once they have paid for and received an assessment and/or diagnosis. This includes an understanding of the limitations of cover provided by any private medical insurance and how ongoing supplies of medication should be obtained.
