Question 11

How do computerized ADHD testing and GeneSight testing work?

Accepted Answer

Computerized ADHD Testing (QbCheck):
We offer objective computerized ADHD testing, which measures attention, impulsivity, and activity level. It helps us understand how your symptoms compare to individuals with and without ADHD, supporting a more accurate diagnosis. This test is especially helpful when clinical interviews alone may not capture the full picture. The tests are billed to insurance and without any of pocket cost for clients. Can be completed from home with clear instructions.

Pharmacogenetic Testing:
We offer pharmacogenetic testing through GeneSight which show how your genes may affect your body’s response to certain psychiatric medications. These can help identify which medications are likely to be more effective or have fewer side effects based on your genetic profile. This test is especially useful if you’ve had multiple unsuccessful medication trials. While insurance may cover part of the cost, the exact out-of-pocket amount depends on your plan. We'll help guide you through the process if this test is appropriate for your care.
