• Provide documentation of a comprehensive diagnostic evaluation within the last four years that includes:
  • Copy of at least one of these diagnostic tests.
    • Wechsler Adult Intelligence Scale 4th Edition (WAIS-IV)
    • Woodcock-Johnson 4th Edition Cognitive and Achievement Test
    • The Conners’ Adult ADHD Rating Scales–Self Report: Long Version (CAARS–S:L)

    • The Test of Variables of Attention, Version 9 (TOVA-9)
  • Identification of the current functional issues.
  • A diagnostic statement, with clinical diagnosis, from the mental health professional who administered the testing.
  • A recommendation by the evaluator for a prescription as part of the treatment plan.

Please note that any significant event that would affect diagnosis/function since the last evaluation will necessitate updated testing.

To obtain those records that document you have undergone the above-mentioned psychological testing for ADHD, you must complete and sign a Release of Information (ROI) Form. Please contact us at 913-588-6580 to secure an ROI form.

If those records are not available, we can refer you to a community provider for psychometric testing.
