Wondering if you have ADHD? - Dr. Nate can help.

You're in the right place. We provide adult ADHD testing throughout Minnesota, with in-person appointments in downtown Northfield and online services available across the state.

Whether you’ve always suspected ADHD or it has only recently come onto your radar, many adults come to testing after years of wondering "Why does life feel harder than it seems to for everyone else?" For some people, ADHD is obvious. For others, it has been quietly hiding beneath perfectionism, anxiety, people-pleasing, overachievement, chronic stress, or years of trying to simply keep up.

Dr. Page's training and experience focus on understanding how ADHD often shows up differently across individuals and throughout the lifespan. Adults often do not fit the stereotypical ADHD presentation. We frequently evaluate women, gender-diverse individuals, high-masking adults, college students, therapists, and professionals whose ADHD may have gone unnoticed because they appeared successful, organized, or "high functioning" from the outside.

Many therapists, physicians, and psychiatric providers throughout Minnesota also refer clients for evaluations when the diagnostic picture is complex or unclear. Our assessments are designed not only to determine whether ADHD is present, but also to carefully differentiate ADHD from other overlapping concerns such as anxiety, depression, trauma/PTSD, autism, OCD, burnout, or other conditions that may affect attention, motivation, and daily functioning.

ADHD Scheduling Tip

For many ADHDers, the hardest part is simply getting started. It’s common to spend months (or even years) thinking about testing before feeling ready to take action.

If you’re noticing a window of motivation right now, this may be a good time to take the next step and schedule your evaluation. If you’re still deciding whether testing is the right fit, please schedule a free 15-minute consultation.

We’ve designed the scheduling process to be simple and clear so you can move forward intentionally and at a pace that feels right for you.

What You'll Get

By the end of the 2-step process, you'll have:

A clear answer about whether ADHD is part of your diagnostic picture
A personalized PDF copy of the written report (great for accommodations, medication providers, and your own understanding)
Next steps for support: therapy, coaching, workplace/school accommodations, or medication

We also evaluate for anxiety, depression, trauma/PTSD, and autism (plus several other conditions) as part of our process, because ADHD rarely shows up alone and it's important to differentiate what is ADHD (and what is not ADHD).

We provide adult ADHD testing throughout Minnesota for adults ages 18+, and offer limited ADHD evaluations for children and teens ages 6–17.

An ADHD assessment is NOT a full-battery neuropsychological evaluation (which is used to gain a comprehensive understanding of brain functioning). Our evaluation cannot provide diagnostic information about Specific Learning Disorders, traumatic brain injury, and certain other concerns.

If it looks like a full-battery neuropsychological assessment would be best for you, we will provide local referral options.

What is the 2-step evaluation process?

Our testing process is ADHD-friendly and you get your results within a few days.

We use the current gold standard assessment protocol for ADHD evaluation, and break this down into a simple 2-step process...

Step 1: Clinical Interview & Testing

Tele-health or in-person.

3 hours

This is an in-depth evaluation of your history and current symptoms. Nate also will administer a series of assessments and complete additional interviews and data collection. You can invite parents and significant others to come and help with the clinical interview by adding their observations of you. For most people this process takes 2-3 hours.

Step 2: Report

Tele-health or in-person.

60 minutes

After step #1, I write up your report and we meet to go over your results, send you a singed PDF copy of your written report, and provide "next step" recommendations regarding accommodations for school/work, medications, or other services. There are three kinds of results you might receive from testing process: (1) a confirmation of ADHD, (2) a disconfirmation of ADHD with an explanation of how something else is creating your challenges (e.g. anxiety, depression, PTSD), or (3) a confirmation of ADHD + other psychological concerns that are present in your diagnostic picture (e.g. anxiety, depression, PTSD).

Payment and Insurance

The cost for an ADHD assessment is $1,620, which includes the clinical interview, testing measures, scoring, report writing, consultation, and feedback session.

To reserve a testing appointment, a $295 deposit is required. This deposit is applied toward the total cost of the evaluation.

Our practice is out-of-network for all insurance providers, which means:

• Payment is made directly to our practice
• We provide a superbill you can submit to insurance for possible reimbursement
• Many clients receive partial reimbursement depending on their plan

If you plan to seek reimbursement, we recommend calling your insurance company to verify your benefits. Our Insurance Verification Guide below can help walk you through that process.

If cost is a concern, we’re happy to discuss options during a free 15-minute consultation after insurance benefits have been verified.

Insurance Verification Guide

Some clients choose to submit their ADHD assessment for out-of-network insurance reimbursement. If you’d like to explore that option, this guide can help you quickly check what your plan may cover.

Because every insurance plan is different, the easiest way to verify your benefits is to call the phone number on the back of your insurance card and ask a representative a few simple questions.

This process usually takes about 5–10 minutes.

When you call, you can ask the following questions:

Is ADHD assessment or psychological testing covered in my plan?
Are there any requirements for coverage?
(For example: pre-authorization, a referral from a primary care physician, or other steps.)
Do I need to meet my annual deductible before this service is covered?
If so, ask how much of your deductible has already been met this year.
What percentage would be reimbursed for out-of-network psychological testing?
Let them know the service would be provided by an out-of-network psychologist.
If ADHD assessment is not covered, will the cost still count toward my deductible if I submit documentation of payment?

If the insurance representative asks for billing details, you can refer to the Example Superbill further down on this page. It includes the billing codes and provider information insurance companies typically request.

Many clients receive partial reimbursement depending on their plan. Others choose to simply pay out-of-pocket without submitting insurance claims.

Either option is completely fine, our goal is simply to help you have clear expectations ahead of time.

If you have questions while reviewing your benefits, feel free to reach out. We're always happy to help you think through your options.

FAQs

Yes! For adults ages 18+ who are wanting/needing a formal diagnosis. Most adults can determine for themselves if they are autistic, but sometimes your university, employer, or other organization needs you to have a diagnosis from a professional. Our assessment process will help you understand if you are autistic, and will also help you better understand your unique strengths and struggles.

We include an autism screening tool in all of our ADHD evaluations because ADHD and autism are so highly correlated. After seeing the results of your autism screen, you are given the choice if you want to continue with the autism assessment or not.

If you are interested in understanding more about the connection between autism and ADHD, you can geek out and read this 2018 article that will give you a 'deep dive" summary. If you'd rather have a synposis, here is a quote from the article, "An estimated 30 to 80 percent of children with autism also meet the criteria for ADHD and, conversely, 20 to 50 percent of children with ADHD for autism. Given the size of the overlap, scientists are beginning to rethink the relationship between the two conditions and to look for common biological roots."

Both! A majority of people can do the entire assessment process online.

However, there are a select few situations where we would want you to come into our office for specific tests that are done best in-person. The primary reason for an in-person assessment is if you want an intelligence test to be part of your ADHD assessment. An intelligence test is not needed in diagnosing ADHD; however, if you plan to request accommodations for the GRE, LSAT, MCAT in the future you will probably need an intelligence test to be part of your ADHD assessment. The intelligence testing takes an additional 2-3 hours and will cost you an additional $530-795.

Our physical office is located in downtown Northfield at 220 Division Street (right across from the Northfield Public Library).

IN-PERSON visits are in downtown Northfield at 101 5th St E, Suite 204.

No-show / Late Cancellation Policy

Because your ADHD assessment reserves 3+ hours of dedicated time, we require at least 24 hours’ notice to cancel or reschedule.
Missed appointments or cancellations with less than 24 hours notice may result in a $265 late cancellation fee or, in some cases, the full appointment cost.

We get that ADHD can make scheduling hard—our goal is to work with your brain, not against it. If you need help staying on track, just reach out. We’re here to support you through the process.
