Explanation of steps
STEP 1
We would like to receive a letter of referral from your general practitioner or directional practitioner.
STEP 2
The letter of referral can be safely sent via, for example, Zorgdomein. It is important that the referrer refers to us, ‘ADHDcentraal’, explicitly. There should also be a specific reference to the specialist mental healthcare (GGZ).
STEP 3
You will be in contact by phone with someone from our Information and Planning Team. We will give you information about our method and costs, and then discuss the contents of your letter of referral and possibly ask additional questions. Of course you can also ask us questions.
You can reach us at 088 313 1200 (available on working days between 10:00-16:00) when you have questions about our working methods. We will contact you to make an appointment.
STAP 4
We will then schedule an appointment with you. Due to the multitude of applications, there is a waiting time, which can differ per location and is partially dependent on the agreements made with health insurers.

I am on the waiting list, how to proceed?
- If you are on the waiting list, it is advisable to visit our psycho education site at this link. Here you can find several links that might help you.
- It is important to supply the information and/or questionnaires we request as soon as possible so that we have your file ready for use. This will allow us to prepare the examination properly. Hierdoor kunnen wij het onderzoek goed voorbereiden.
What does my insurance cover?
If we have a contract with your health insurer or if you have a 100% reimbursement policy, you do not pay any additional costs, except for your own outstanding deductible. If we do not have a contract with your health insurer, you will pay a “personal contribution” of €250 after the diagnosis day and treatment. You will also have to pay your health insurer your outstanding deductible.
