Frequently Asked Questions

We have the answers for you!

What is AXON ADHD, and how does it support ADHD Primary Care Physicians?

AXON ADHD provides proactive, complex ADHD evaluations and collaborative care. We help primary care physicians identify, refer, and manage ADHD cases efficiently—using objective data and integrated technology—so you can focus on higher-level medical needs while maintaining oversight and continuity of care.

Why is ADHD such a challenge for Primary Care?

ADHD often overlaps with mood, anxiety, trauma, and substance-use disorders, making accurate diagnosis difficult within a short primary care visit. Nearly 12% of the population meets ADHD criteria, yet only 1 in 9 adults are properly diagnosed and treated. Untreated ADHD increases risks for depression, anxiety, obesity, hypertension, and substance abuse, and reduces life expectancy by 8–13 years. AXON ADHD helps PCPs manage these complex cases without adding burden or liability .

How does the AXON ADHD partnership work?

Our integrated, automated workflow identifies and refers patients through your existing EHR system:

  1. Free Pre-visit screening (PHQ-9, GAD-7, ASRS, DAST etc.) — auto-administered annually or pre-visit.
  2. Automated referral — patients meeting validated thresholds are referred to AXON ADHD for full evaluation.
  3. Comprehensive testing & reporting — we conduct objective testing (QbCheck), structured interviews, and produce a full report and treatment plan.
  4. Collaborative treatment — results are sent back to the PCP for review, documentation, and follow-up prescribing as desired. We can even retest on medication to help with medication titration and document efficacy of treatments.
Does this create more work for my clinicians or staff?

Not at all. Our process is low-touch and fully automated—requiring no additional PCP time. Once implemented, the system screens patients, generates referrals, and delivers reports seamlessly through your EHR. We manage the testing, interpretation, and patient communication; you simply review the results and determine next steps.

Can I bill for collaborative or screening services?

Yes. AXON ADHD’s workflow allows you to bill for proactive screening and collaborative consultation while we handle the heavy lifting.

Typical codes include:

  • 96127 (brief emotional/behavioral screening)
  • 99452 (interprofessional consultation)

These can generate +$50 per patient for screenings you already perform, and increase hourly reimbursement by up to $70/hour for 16% of visits involving behavioral health .

How does AXON ADHD improve clinical and operational outcomes?
  • Clinical Confidence: Objective data and standardized assessments improve diagnostic accuracy and treatment decisions.
  • Operational Efficiency: Automated referrals and integrated workflows eliminate bottlenecks.
  • Economic Benefit: Shifts time from behavioral health cases to higher-level medical care, increasing billable value.
  • Patient Impact: Early identification reduces medical complications, accidents, and comorbidities while improving adherence and quality of life .
How easy is it to implement AXON ADHD in my practice?

Implementation is simple and turnkey:

  1. Pathway Mapping: We review your current workflow to identify integration points.
  2. Configuration & Dry Run: We test the referral process for accuracy and robustness.
  3. Clinician Education: We hold brief training sessions to onboard your staff.
  4. Go-Live: We launch and monitor for continuous optimization and reimbursement accuracy .

     

What does it cost for my practice?

There is no cost to your practice. Patients pay directly for evaluations, and we provide superbills for reimbursement. The integration and technology setup are free for partner clinics.

How does AXON ADHD ensure quality and compliance?

Our systems are HIPAA-compliant, evidence-based, and designed around collaborative care best practices. Every evaluation includes objective testing, validated scales, and clinician interpretation to meet medical and legal standards for diagnosis and accommodations.

What is AXON ADHD?

AXON ADHD partners with universities to reduce student attrition as a result of undiagnosed ADHD and accompanying issues like depression, anxiety, and substance abuse.  We partner to improve wellness outcomes and improve academic performance through free mental health screenings and affordable ADHD evaluations to proactively identify students at risk for academic struggle or dropout—while easing the burden on campus counseling and health centers.

Why should university leaders care about ADHD?ider an ADHD evaluation?

AXON ADHD provides accurate, data-driven ADULT ADHD evaluations and ongoing support. We combine clinical expertise, standardized psychological tools, and cutting-edge FDA cleared technology to deliver a precise ADHD diagnosis and actionable treatment plans with access to ADHD medications and ADHD accommodations

We believe proactive ADHD screening is an essential part of making ADHD assessment more accessible to all people.  It helps identify ADULT ADHD symptoms for men and women. ADHD has been called one of the most over diagnosed and underdiagnosed conditions within behavioral health.  AXON ADHD can change this.  We can give people the most accurate ADULT ADHD diagnosis information available and help the millions of people who struggle without a clear diagnosis. 8 of 9 adults who have ADHD have never been accurately diagnosed.  We want to change this.

How does untreated ADHD impact university retention and revenue?ld consider an ADHD evaluation?

ADHD-related attrition is one of the most overlooked drivers of lost tuition.

Case Study: A midsize public university (35,000 students)

  • Estimated 3,734 students have undiagnosed ADHD.
  • 2,240 of those students are at risk for drop out.
  • Annual lost tuition: $24.5 million.
  • Four-year cumulative loss: ~$100 million
    Beyond tuition, attrition lowers alumni engagement, affects institutional rankings, and risks Title IV eligibility.
How does AXON ADHD help universities close the gap?

We provide a turnkey, data-driven behavioral health solution that scales across campuses:

  • Free annual screenings (for ADHD, depression, anxiety, and substance use).
  • Affordable comprehensive ADHD evaluations for students who screen positive — at 90% less cost than typical testing.
  • Immediate access to same-day testing and results.
  • Collaborative treatment plans shared with students, families, primary care providers, and academic support staff.

Training and consultation for faculty, advisors, and student affairs professionals .

How does AXON ADHD integrate with campus systems?

Our technology integrates directly with your Learning Management System (LMS) or student health platform:

  1. Pathway Mapping: We review existing systems and workflows.
  2. Configuration & Dry Run: We customize the communication and referral flow.
  3. Staff Information Sessions: We train campus teams on the pathway and ADHD care.
  4. Go-Live: We launch a seamless, automated system that continuously monitors outcomes and improves over time .
What is the cost to the university?

There is no direct cost to the university.

  • Screenings are free for all students and staff.
  • Full evaluations are paid by students or families, with superbills to seek reimbursement from health insurance plans.
  • A non-profit arm seeks grant funding to ensure access for low-income and underserved students .
How does this partnership support campus counseling centers?

AXON ADHD reduces strain on counseling and health centers by:

  • Identifying and triaging complex ADHD cases before crises emerge.
  • Offering objective, fast, and accurate assessments that counselors can use to inform care.
  • Freeing clinical staff to focus on therapy and crisis intervention rather than lengthy diagnostics.
  • Access to our network of trusted clinicians to augment or fully manage treatment.

This strengthens your mental health infrastructure without adding staff or cost.

How does this partnership benefit students and families?

Any incoming or returning student can have free, rapid access to evidence-based assessments and treatment recommendations, empowering them to thrive academically. Families gain peace of mind knowing their student’s university is proactive about mental health, ensuring higher satisfaction and retention. For families, AXON ADHD’s approach offers clarity, affordability, and trust.  For many families, the investment they are making in their students’ education is their most signficant financial invesmetment. Proactive screening is an “insurance” against the loss of entire sememsters or years of educational costs as a result of undiagnosed ADHD.

What measurable outcomes can universities expect?
  1. Higher retention and graduation rates.  A modest 10% improvement of retention can yield a savings of $Millions for a typical university.
  2. Reduced student loan defaults and improved alumni outcomes.
  3. Improved rankings through lower attrition and stronger completion metrics.
  4. Enhanced student satisfaction and wellbeing.


Each partnership includes data tracking to quantify impact and ROI over time.

How can our university get started?

Implementation begins with a brief strategy session to assess needs, integration options, and pilot opportunities.

We’re currently partnering with select universities and educational entrepreneurs to launch scalable, sustainable behavioral health solutions.

What is AXON ADHD?

AXON ADHD provides accurate, data-driven ADULT ADHD evaluations and ongoing support. We combine clinical expertise, standardized psychological tools, and cutting-edge FDA cleared technology to deliver a precise ADHD diagnosis and actionable treatment plans with access to ADHD medications and ADHD accommodations

We believe proactive ADHD screening is an essential part of making ADHD assessment more accessible to all people.  It helps identify ADULT ADHD symptoms for men and women. ADHD has been called one of the most over diagnosed and underdiagnosed conditions within behavioral health.  AXON ADHD can change this.  We can give people the most accurate ADULT ADHD diagnosis information available and help the millions of people who struggle without a clear diagnosis. 8 of 9 adults who have ADHD have never been accurately diagnosed.  We want to change this.

Who should consider an ADHD evaluation?

Anyone struggling with focus, organization, motivation, emotional regulation, or performance inconsistencies may benefit from an evaluation. Many adults and students discover that long-standing frustrations—like procrastination, burnout, or anxiety—are rooted in untreated ADHD.

Only 1 in 9 ADHDers have actually been diagnosed! The other 8 in 9 may have been told they are lazy, don’t work hard, are neurotic or overly sensitive.  People without treatment for ADHD are at significant risk for higher rates of depression, anxiety, substance abuse, and accidents.  They have lower lifetime earnings, higher drop out rates, higher divorce rates, and even lower life expectancy.  By proactively screening for ADHD, depression, anxiety, and substance use issues we can identify those at risk, get them accurate diagnoses and provide treatments that will significantly reduce these risks.  With clarity and real answers, we help ADHDers thrive.

How is your evaluation different from others?

Our proactive process starts with a FREE behavioral health screening to identify individuals at risk for ADHD, depression, anxiety, and substance use issues.  We then incorporate the gold standard comprehensive ADHD evaluation by blending objective data, clinical interviews, and research validated ADHD screening tools into one streamlined experience.

We use the world’s only FDA cleared online ADHD assessment tool that simultaneously measures hyperactivity, inattention, and impulse control.  This tool provides clear, objective data about the core symptoms of ADHD.  We also use validated rating scales like the ASRS, PHQ-9, and GAD-7, and structured diagnostic interviews. The result: a comprehensive, personalized report that’s fast, clear, and clinically rigorous.

We DON’T include IQ tests or tests of academic achievement that were the old way (and unfortunately still in use today) because IQ and academic performance, and work ethic are NOT associated with ADHD. Those tests drive up the costs for ADHD assessment and are not valid measures of ADHD.

What is QbCheck, and why do you use it?

QbCheck is an FDA-cleared, computer-based test that objectively measures attention, impulsivity, and movement patterns. It provides clinicians with quantifiable data that complement self-report and interview information—helping ensure your diagnosis is accurate and defensible for workplace, school, or medical accommodations.  Subjective measures just aren’t valid indicators of ADHD symptoms.  A person’s experience and history of struggles are important aspects of any ADHD evaluation, but the foundation of good diagnostic data is clear–objective, valid measures.

Do I need a referral from my primary care doctor or psychiatrist?

No. You can schedule directly with AXON ADHD for a self-referred adult ADHD evaluation.

We also collaborate with primary care providers and mental health professionals who refer patients to ensure continuity of care. We work seamlessly with them to ensure no one slips through the cracks. Once you’re in our system, we work with you to get you where you need to go to get the best ADHD treatments, medications, and accommodations.

Can AXON ADHD help with academic accommodations or workplace accommodations?

Yes. Our reports are written to meet the standards of the ADA, Section 504, and higher-education disability offices. We provide the objective documentation often required to support requests for extended testing time, distraction-reduced environments, or other accommodations. We assist folks obtain accommodations for exams like the GRE, LSAT, MCAT, SAT, ACT, BAR exam, etc.

What happens after my evaluation?

After testing, you’ll receive:

  • A Full Clinical ADHD Report with an official ADHD diagnosis based on your unique ADHD symptoms and testing results.
  • A consultation with an ADHD expert to review the results and discuss next steps (including treatment, coaching, or academic/work supports).
How long does the process take?

Most clients complete their entire evaluation—including testing, questionnaires, and review—within days.  The intake forms and self report measures may take 5-10 minutes total time and the full ADHD test (QbCheck) will require about 40 minutes total time to review the instructions, validate your computer meets minimum requirements, and complete the 20 minute actual test.

Do you see children or only adults?

We primarily specialize in young adult and adult ADHD, including college students and professionals. However, we do work with adolescent referrals in circumstances where we are comfortable testing only for ADHD.  For children under the age of 16, if there is a concern that there may be other conditions like a learning disability, dyslexia, etc., we will often recommend a full cognitive educational neuropsych evaluation to rule out other potential diagnoses. We are happy to make referrals to other trusted colleagues in these cases.

Do you offer ADHD medication management or therapy?

AXON ADHD focuses on diagnostics and integrated care coordination.

We collaborate closely with prescribing physicians, therapists, and ADHD coaches to ensure you have a cohesive treatment plan. Referrals and coordination are part of our standard service.  At present, we do not have the ability to write prescriptions for medications, but we are working on it!

Do you accept insurance?

Our services are out-of-network to maintain flexibility and confidentiality.

However, we provide detailed invoices (superbills) you can submit for potential reimbursement. Many clients receive partial coverage through their out-of-network mental health benefits.

Is my information private and secure?

Absolutely. We follow HIPAA-compliant protocols and use secure, encrypted systems for all digital communications and records.

How do I get started?

You can begin the process in just a few minutes:

  1. Visit www.AXONADHD.com.
