Payment of Fees
Initial enquiry – request for assessment information / telephone consultation – free of charge.
Pre-assessment stage – Following triage of referral form a non-refundable deposit (£130) and signed consent / terms and conditions form is required to secure an assessment. The assessment process begins following receipt of the deposit. The assessment is completed in stages culminating with the face-to-face assessment. The timeline for this will depend on the waiting list at that time and the response rate for information requested.
Each payment is non-refundable once the requested paperwork has been submitted. Assessment cannot progress to the next stage until the paperwork and fee from the previous stage have been submitted.
Stage 1 (£445) This is typically in the form of school questionnaires.
Stage 2 (£445) –This is a background questionnaire completed by parents or carers and specific ADHD screening questionnaires for parents and the young person if appropriate.
Stage 3 (£445) – Face to face appointment including ADOS-2 assessment and QB Check. This stage also typically involves a clinical meeting between the multi-disciplinary team and feedback* of the assessment outcome. Payment due one week before appointment date.
An additional appointment may be required with our Paediatrician, and this will be arranged separately. If further ADHD assessment is indicated a final payment of £355 will be due before the final medical appointment is scheduled. Please note any future reviews with the Paediatrician will be charged by them directly.
Stage 4 – Report and onward referrals as required. Reports are issued approximately 4 weeks after feedback.
Cancellation Policy
Our assessments are highly specialist appointments and are in very high demand. In order to reduce waiting times and reallocate the appointment, we ask that any face-to-face appointments that need to be rearranged or cancelled are done so with as much notice as possible. If you need to rearrange your appointment we cannot guarantee that we can accommodate this within a 4-week period.
We endeavour to give as much advance notice as possible if Insight Clinic have any need to cancel an appointment and will aim to rearrange it in as timely a manner as possible.
*Feedback
When possible feedback will be given during the face-to-face appointment. If this is not possible, for example, if additional information is required, we aim to complete feedback within a two-week period of the last piece of requested information being received.
Feedback in relation to the outcome of ADHD assessment will be given by the Paediatrician.
Legal Proceedings
Insight Clinic do not undertake work that may lead or link to legal proceedings, unless this is specifically discussed and agreed before the assessment commences. An additional fee may be applicable.
Deadlines
Insight Clinic are unable to work to deadlines imposed by other agencies unless this is specifically discussed and agreed before the assessment commences.
