Professional ADHD Testing in Orlando
Wondering if you have ADHD? At Empathy Health Clinic, our board-certified psychiatrists provide comprehensive ADHD testing and evaluation for adults 18+ in Orlando. Our diagnostic process combines clinical interviews, standardized assessments, and symptom rating scales to provide accurate ADHD diagnoses and personalized treatment recommendations.
Many adults with ADHD go undiagnosed for years, struggling with focus, organization, time management, and impulsivity without understanding why. Our ADHD testing process provides clarity and opens the door to effective treatment options including medication, therapy, and lifestyle strategies.
We accept most major insurance plans for ADHD testing, including Blue Cross Blue Shield, Aetna, Cigna, UnitedHealthcare, and Humana. Same-week testing appointments are typically available.
What's Included in ADHD Testing
Comprehensive Clinical Interview (60-90 minutes)
Detailed discussion of your symptoms, medical history, childhood behavior patterns, academic/work performance, and how ADHD symptoms impact your daily life. We review your developmental history and family history of ADHD or other mental health conditions.
ADHD Symptom Rating Scales
Standardized questionnaires (such as ASRS, Conners, or Vanderbilt scales) that measure inattention, hyperactivity, and impulsivity symptoms. These evidence-based tools help quantify symptom severity and track changes over time.
Differential Diagnosis Assessment
Evaluation to rule out other conditions that can mimic ADHD symptoms, including anxiety disorders, depression, bipolar disorder, sleep disorders, thyroid problems, or learning disabilities. Accurate differential diagnosis ensures you receive the right treatment.
Diagnosis & Treatment Plan
Clear explanation of your diagnosis (ADHD-Inattentive, ADHD-Hyperactive/Impulsive, or ADHD-Combined type), comprehensive written report, and personalized treatment recommendations including medication options, therapy referrals, and lifestyle strategies.
ADHD Testing Timeline & Process
Initial Consultation (Week 1)
Schedule your first appointment. Same-week slots typically available. Bring any previous psychological testing, school records, or performance reviews that document attention difficulties.
Testing Appointment (60-90 minutes)
Complete clinical interview, symptom rating scales, and behavioral assessments. Your psychiatrist will gather comprehensive information about your symptoms, history, and functional impairments.
Results & Diagnosis (Same Day or Within 1 Week)
Receive your diagnosis, detailed explanation of findings, written report, and personalized treatment plan. If ADHD is diagnosed, we can often start treatment the same day.
Treatment & Follow-Up (Ongoing)
Begin ADHD treatment if diagnosed. Monthly follow-ups to monitor medication effectiveness, adjust dosages, and track symptom improvement. Coordination with therapists if combined treatment is recommended.
ADHD Evaluation vs. ADHD Treatment: What's the Difference?
ADHD Evaluation/Testing
- • Diagnostic assessment to determine if you have ADHD
- • Clinical interviews and rating scales
- • Typically 1-2 appointments
- • Results in formal diagnosis
- • Covered by most insurance as diagnostic visit
- • Provides treatment recommendations
ADHD Treatment
- • Ongoing care after ADHD diagnosis
- • Medication management (stimulants, non-stimulants)
- • Monthly follow-up appointments
- • Dosage adjustments and monitoring
- • Covered by insurance as treatment visits
- • May include therapy coordination
Bottom line: Testing/evaluation gives you the diagnosis. Treatment is the ongoing care that helps you manage ADHD symptoms. Most patients complete testing first, then transition to regular treatment appointments if ADHD is diagnosed.

- Adults with chronic disorganization
- Anyone suspecting undiagnosed ADHD
Late-Diagnosed Adult ADHD
Many adults discover they have ADHD later in life. Our specialists understand the unique challenges of late diagnosis and provide comprehensive evaluations.
- Career transition difficulties

Insurance Coverage for ADHD Testing
ADHD testing is typically covered by most insurance plans as a diagnostic psychiatric evaluation. We accept the following insurance providers:
What to expect: Most insurance plans cover ADHD testing as a diagnostic visit, typically requiring a copay or coinsurance. We recommend calling your insurance provider before your appointment to verify your behavioral health benefits and any out-of-pocket costs. Our office can provide you with the necessary diagnostic codes (F90.0, F90.1, F90.2) to verify coverage.
After Your ADHD Diagnosis – Treatment Options
Once you receive your ADHD diagnosis, the next step is starting an effective treatment plan. Our board-certified psychiatrists specialize in ADHD medication management, including stimulant and non-stimulant options tailored to your specific needs.
Treatment typically begins with a follow-up appointment where we discuss medication options, set treatment goals, and create a personalized care plan. Many patients see significant improvement in focus, organization, and daily functioning within weeks of starting treatment.
