Use this article to choose which ADHD appointment to book. What happens in each of the three appointments is in How the ADHD diagnostic process works.

You become an established ADHD patient when you receive an ADHD diagnosis through Circle Medical. A new patient seeking ADHD care does that by completing the three appointments in order. Outside New Jersey, those are the ADHD Initial intake appointment, the ADHD Comprehensive health assessment, and ADHD Diagnosis and treatment. In New Jersey, the third appointment is an in-person appointment. See How ADHD medication and care works in New Jersey.

Book an ADHD Initial intake appointment. A diagnosis from another clinic, provider, or facility does not replace the three appointments. A controlled substance can be considered as a treatment plan only after those appointments are complete.

If it has been more than 1 year since your last completed appointment with Circle Medical, book an ADHD Initial intake appointment. This applies if you completed the ADHD evaluation process in the past, and if you started the diagnostic process and then stopped mid-way.

Because you have not had an appointment in the past year, you restart with the intake. It confirms your current health information and whether anything has changed. What to expect is in How your ADHD initial intake appointment works.

If it has been more than 1 year since your last completed appointment with us, the standard path is to complete the three appointments again before ADHD treatment resumes. Your provider makes the final decision based on your clinical needs.

If you have had any completed appointment in the past year, and you have not finished the diagnostic process, book the next appointment:

Providers have the right to exercise their clinical judgement and ask you to restart the ADHD diagnostic process.

If you have had any completed appointment in the past year, book an "ADHD Follow-up". State rules for controlled substances may still require an in-person appointment. See How in-person ADHD follow-up appointments work.

If it has been more than 1 year, use the restart section above.

No. You can book only one appointment a day. Most insurance will not cover multiple appointments within the same day. You can book the next ADHD appointment for a later day whenever you are ready.

Self-pay prices are in Appointment costs. If you use insurance, your plan decides what you owe.

The ADHD Initial intake appointment and the ADHD Comprehensive health assessment are video appointments. The third appointment, ADHD Diagnosis and treatment, is a video appointment, except in New Jersey, where it is in person. See How ADHD medication and care works in New Jersey.

Some states require an in-person appointment. See How in-person ADHD follow-up appointments work and How ADHD medication and care works in New Jersey.

That appointment type appears after you have finished the diagnostic process and you are an established ADHD patient.

When you are an established ADHD patient that has completed all 3 intake appointments, and your last completed appointment was 1 year ago or less, select ADHD Follow-up. How often to book is in How ADHD follow-up appointments work.

No. A controlled substance prescription that continues a plan from another provider or clinical is not written before the three appointments are complete.

No. The ADHD Comprehensive health assessment appears after you complete the ADHD Initial intake appointment. For a general health review, book an annual checkup (annual wellness exam).
