Get Your ADHD Assessment in Florida This Week - Not in 6 Months

The average wait time for an ADHD assessment in Florida is now over 6 months. If you're struggling with focus, productivity, or suspect you have ADHD, that's simply too long to wait for answers and treatment. At MindRefined, we offer same-week ADHD evaluations via secure telehealth for all Florida residents.

Why Are ADHD Assessment Wait Times So Long in Florida?

Florida faces a severe shortage of psychiatric providers qualified to diagnose and treat ADHD. With only a handful of specialists accepting new patients, waitlists have grown to 6-12 months in major cities like Miami, Orlando, Tampa, and Jacksonville. Meanwhile, untreated ADHD affects your work performance, relationships, and quality of life.

Our Comprehensive ADHD Assessment Process

As a University of Miami-trained Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner with specialized ADHD certification, I provide thorough evaluations that include:

  • 2-Hour Initial Assessment: Complete psychiatric evaluation using DSM-5 criteria and validated ADHD rating scales
  • Detailed History: Childhood symptoms, academic performance, work history, and family patterns
  • Cognitive Testing: Attention, executive function, and processing assessments
  • Differential Diagnosis: Rule out anxiety, depression, or other conditions that mimic ADHD
  • Treatment Planning: Personalized medication and therapy recommendations

ADHD Medication Management That Works

Following diagnosis, we provide ongoing medication management with:

  • Stimulant Options: Adderall, Vyvanse, Concerta, Ritalin - carefully titrated for optimal results
  • Non-Stimulant Alternatives: Strattera, Wellbutrin, Guanfacine for those who can't take stimulants
  • Monthly Monitoring: Regular check-ins to adjust dosage and manage side effects
  • Insurance Coverage: We work with your insurance for medication authorization

The Cost of ADHD Assessment and Treatment

We understand cost concerns. Here's our transparent pricing:

  • Initial ADHD Assessment: $300-400 (CPT code 90791) - Most insurance covers 80-100%
  • Monthly Medication Management: $150-200 (CPT codes 99214/99215) - Typical copay $20-40
  • Insurance Accepted: Blue Cross Blue Shield, Aetna, UnitedHealthcare, Cigna, Medicare, Tricare

Adult ADHD: It's Never Too Late for Diagnosis

Many adults in Florida are discovering they have ADHD after years of struggling. Common signs include:

  • Chronic disorganization and poor time management
  • Difficulty completing tasks or meeting deadlines
  • Impulsive decisions affecting finances or relationships
  • Restlessness and inability to relax
  • History of underachievement despite intelligence

If you've wondered "Do I have ADHD?" for years, now is the time to find out.

ADHD Assessment for Children and Teens

We also provide ADHD evaluations for children (6+) and teenagers. Early diagnosis and treatment can dramatically improve:
