Our assessment pathways
NHS-funded services
Some Autism and ADHD services at Provide Wellbeing are funded by the NHS.
When NHS funding applies
You will not be charged if:
- you are referred by your GP and accepted by Provide Wellbeing through an active NHS local pathway, or
- you are referred under the NHS Right to Choose scheme (once a qualifying contract is live)
NHS-funded services are:
- fully funded
- provided under a specific NHS contract
- limited to what is included in that contract
What NHS funding includes
Depending on the pathway, NHS-funded care may include:
- diagnostic assessment
- post-diagnostic advice and signposting
- psychoeducation (where commissioned)
- ADHD medication initiation and monitoring (where commissioned)
The exact offer varies by Integrated Care Board (ICB) and pathway.
Self-pay assessments
Self-pay assessments are available if:
- you are not eligible for an NHS-funded pathway
- you prefer not to wait
- you want to access an assessment privately
Self-pay routes:
- do not require a GP referral
- are available for children, young people, and adults
- follow the same clinical standards and NICE guidance as NHS services
Self-Pay Pricing
For some appointments, payment is required upon booking. For others, the full fee is required 7-10 days prior to the appointment. Payment can be made by debit or credit card (excluding American Express) or bank transfer (at least 3 working days in advance).

ADHD medication & fees
NHS pathways
Where ADHD medication is commissioned as part of an NHS pathway:
- medication and monitoring are NHS-funded
- there is no additional cost to you
Self-pay assessments
For self-pay assessments:
- medication is not included automatically
- private prescribing or ongoing private psychiatric care may incur additional costs (see prices above)
- once you, your child/young person is stable on the medication, we will initiate a shared care agreement with the GP. However NHS prescribing depends on GP agreement and local NHS arrangements
These arrangements will always be discussed clearly before any decisions are made.
Reports, letters & additional requests
Your assessment fee (NHS or self-pay) includes a full diagnostic report.
Additional requests — such as:
- additional appointments outside the agreed pathway may incur a charge. We will always confirm this with you before proceeding.
Cancellation & refunds
For self-pay appointments, our policy is:
- cancellations more than 7 days before the appointment receive a full refund
- cancellations 7 days to 48 hours before are subject to a 25% charge (unless rescheduled at point of cancellation)
- less than 48 hours’ notice or no-shows are charged in full
- If an appointment has already been rescheduled and it is cancelled again, they will be charged in full and no refund given
You remain liable for any fees for treatment or diagnostics already delivered providewellbeing.co.uk
No hidden charges
We are committed to transparency:
- You will not be charged unexpectedly
- Fees are explained before booking
- NHS-funded services remain fully funded
If you’re unsure about costs at any stage, our team can explain what applies to your situation.
