Comparison of Adult Neurodivergence Telehealth Services
| Feature | The Sachs Center | Other Telehealth Providers |
|---|---|---|
| Experience & Specialization | Has been specializing in the testing and treatment of ADHD and autism for over **20 years**, with a deep understanding of complex presentations like “AuDHD” and “high-masking” individuals. | Many providers are newer telehealth startups with a focus on neurodiversity, but may not have the same breadth of experience specifically in this field. |
| Professional Staff | Diagnostic evaluations are conducted by a team of experienced licensed psychologists. | Varies by company. Some may use psychologists, while others may use a mix of licensed clinical social workers (LCSWs), counselors, or other clinicians. |
| Availability | Offers telehealth services **throughout the United States**, making their specialized care accessible to all 50 states. | The service area for other providers can vary, with some being limited to a specific number of states or regions based on their clinicians’ licensing. |
| Combined Testing | Offers a dedicated, combined diagnostic evaluation for both ADHD and autism. | Many providers offer both, but the process may involve separate evaluations or a single evaluation that addresses both conditions to varying degrees. |
| Cost & Reports | Clear, upfront pricing is provided for a comprehensive evaluation ($890) and an optional, detailed report ($400). | Costs can vary and may be presented in packages that bundle services, potentially making it harder to discern the exact cost of the core evaluation. |
| Post-Diagnosis Support | Offers a wide range of services beyond diagnosis, including therapy, coaching, and online support groups for adults with ADHD and autism. | Some companies focus primarily on the diagnostic evaluation, with post-diagnosis resources and support available through external referrals. |
| Insurance Coverage | Does not accept insurance directly but provides a superbill for clients to submit to their out-of-network insurance for potential reimbursement. | Some providers accept major insurance plans, while others operate as out-of-network, similar to The Sachs Center. Availability of in-network coverage is a key differentiator for some providers. |
Note: Fees and services can change, so it is always recommended to verify the most current information directly with each provider.
