Eight practices with offices in Riverside or San Bernardino County publish what they charge to evaluate an adult for ADHD. The lowest is $175 for a first psychiatric visit in Redlands. The highest published figure is $6,000 for full neuropsychological testing.
The Inland Empire has something the coastal counties mostly lack: two practices that list IEHP, the region's largest Medi-Cal plan, as in network for an ADHD evaluation. Across the other regions we have priced, only one listed practice names a Medi-Cal plan: a San Francisco practice lists Alameda Alliance. See all 56 published prices →
The prices cover different services. A visit-based evaluation diagnoses from an interview, history and rating scales. A testing package adds hours of standardized tests and a long report. Most adults can get an answer from the first.¹ Pay for testing when a second question needs answering, or when a school or exam board asks for a full report.
What Inland Empire practices publish
How a practice is listed: an office in Riverside or San Bernardino County, and a price for an adult ADHD evaluation (or an adult evaluation that includes ADHD) on its own website. Read on November 7, 2026. No one paid or was asked; a listing is not a recommendation. Rows run from lowest published price. Practices that publish only an hourly rate or no price are not here.

What the tables show
- Two practices list IEHP: NP Fady ($175 visit) and Empire Psychological Services ($1,500 evaluation). Confirm with IEHP that the clinician is in its network for you before booking.
- Ranges are wide. Ubuntu's $2,000–$5,000 covers every assessment it does; ask where ADHD falls.
- Who gives the tests differs. At Covenant, a registered technician administers testing under a psychologist; at others, a psychologist does. Ask who will see you.
