    Cash-pay context

    Why pricing transparency matters here

    Mental health is one of the most restricted areas of insurance coverage — narrow provider networks, session limits, and prior authorization requirements create barriers that delay care. Cash-pay eliminates these obstacles and gives you access to the full range of doctoral-level psychologists, including those who have opted out of insurance panels due to reimbursement rates that forced session time cuts.

    Start here

    General Clinical Psychology Evaluation

    Start with a general clinical psychology evaluation if you want the provider to confirm the right care path before you move deeper into the specialty.

    Why subspecialty matters

    Why OpenDoc separates these care paths instead of collapsing them

    Focused training matters

    Specialties often branch into narrower care paths. Seeing them clearly helps patients choose providers with training that actually matches the problem.

    Prices match the care path

    A sports medicine visit, a spine evaluation, and a tumor consult are not the same visit. OpenDoc keeps pricing attached to the path, not just the umbrella specialty.

    Less guesswork before booking

    Patients should understand the likely route before they see provider cards. That lowers false starts and makes the next step into provider search feel clearer.

    Better provider fit

    This page keeps specialty, subspecialty, common visit types, and price context aligned so users can move into provider selection with more confidence.

    FAQ

    Frequently asked questions

    A comprehensive ADHD assessment by a clinical psychologist costs $500 to $1,200 for adults and $600 to $1,500 for children on a cash-pay basis. This includes clinical interview, standardized rating scales, cognitive testing, and a detailed diagnostic report. A proper evaluation takes 2 to 5 hours and differentiates ADHD from anxiety, depression, and other conditions that mimic ADHD symptoms.
