Four practices with offices in the Sacramento region publish what they charge to evaluate an adult for ADHD. The lowest is $150 for a physician's evaluation in Rocklin. The highest published figure is $7,750, at the top of one practice's testing range.
Those are 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, such as a learning disorder, or when a school or exam board asks for a full report.
What Sacramento-area practices publish
How a practice is listed: an office in Sacramento, Placer, Yolo or El Dorado 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, no price, or no street address are not here.

What the table shows
- None of the four publishes an in-network contract. On a commercial plan, call your plan first (below).
- Three of the four are in Placer County (Rocklin and Roseville). We found no qualifying practice in Yolo County.
- Spring Psychology's range covers every assessment it does, so ask where an adult ADHD evaluation falls.
Start with your plan
Medi-Cal in Sacramento County runs through Anthem Blue Cross, Health Net, Molina and, for those eligible, Kaiser.² Each plan's member handbook says you can get a mental health assessment "at any time" from a network provider "without a referral," and each lists psychological testing "when clinically indicated."³ ⁴ ⁵
- Anthem Blue Cross: 1-800-407-4627³
- Health Net: 1-800-675-6110 (TTY 711)⁴
- Molina: 1-888-665-4621 (TTY 711); you may be transferred to a behavioral health team⁵
- Kaiser: 1-888-937-5748 (TTY 711), weekdays 8:30 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. Kaiser Northern California says: "You don't need a referral from your doctor to access care."⁶
No insurance, or not sure: Sacramento County's Behavioral Health Services screening and coordination line is (916) 875-1055, toll-free (888) 881-4881. The county says "there is no wrong door," though "most services require Medi-Cal eligibility." This line is for connecting to care, not for emergencies; in a crisis, call or text 988.⁷
Commercial insurance: ask for an in-network adult ADHD diagnostic evaluation and what you will pay. If no one in network can see you within the timely-access standard, generally 10 business days for a non-urgent mental-health appointment, ask the plan to arrange care.⁸ If nobody in network has an opening →
Students at UC Davis and Sacramento State
- UC Davis: Student Health and Counseling Services says it "does not routinely perform new evaluations" for ADHD and does not routinely prescribe ADHD medication, though many outside prescriptions can be filled at its pharmacy. It points students to local evaluators.⁹ Plan for an off-campus evaluator and prescriber from the start.
- Sacramento State: student health and counseling does not offer "psychological testing, including AD/HD and Learning Disorder assessment." Specialized assessment is by referral.¹⁰
Before you pay
"Is this an interview-based diagnosis or a testing package? Who diagnoses, what is the total, what do I get in writing, and who treats me afterwards?"
Online prescribing of ADHD medication runs under temporary federal rules through December 31, 2026.¹¹ Check an online evaluation → · Compare two quotes → · Prepare a one-page history → · Claude as a planning aid →
