Birmingham's private ADHD clinics sit at a noticeably higher price floor than most other cities we cover — the 2 of 5 clinics that publish a price both charge £1,200 or more, with no lower option visible anywhere. All 5 offer an online assessment, though only 2 of the 5 offer a combined ADHD and autism pathway, one of the lowest rates we've seen.

What a private ADHD assessment costs in Birmingham

Only 2 of the 5 Birmingham clinics we list publish a fixed price, and both sit between £1,200 and £1,800. The rest don't list a price online, so ask directly. If you're looking for a lower-cost option, it's worth checking neighbouring cities in our directory, or confirming whether NHS Right to Choose is available to you before committing to a private assessment here.

What actually drives the price

NHS Right to Choose in Birmingham

Under NHS Right to Choose, you can ask your GP to refer you to an alternative NHS-commissioned assessment provider instead of joining your local waiting list, at no cost to you. This is particularly worth investigating in Birmingham given the relatively high private price floor here — availability depends on your NHS Integrated Care Board, so confirm current capacity with your GP. See our Right to Choose guide for the full mechanism and a copy-paste GP letter template.
