Claiming for an ADHD assessment on your health insurance

Many Irish health insurance plans pay towards visits to a registered psychologist or psychiatrist. You pay us, then claim back from your insurer. Here is how it works with Vhi, Laya, Irish Life Health and Level Health.

How it works: pay for each stage when you book, then send the receipt to your insurer. What you get back depends entirely on your plan, so check your table of benefits before you book.

What our receipts include

Insurers ask for receipts that show who was treated, when, by whom, and for how much. Every Proco receipt shows:

  • Your name and the date of the appointment
  • The service, for example "ADHD assessment: clinical assessment"
  • The clinician's name, profession and PSI registration number
  • The amount paid

Look in your plan for "psychology", "mental health" or "day-to-day" or "outpatient" benefits. Some plans pay a set amount per visit, up to a yearly limit.

Claim steps checked on each insurer's website, 11 November 2026. Cover depends on your plan; ask your insurer if you are unsure.

Then claim tax relief on the rest

Whatever your insurer does not pay back, you can usually claim 20% tax relief on through Revenue's myAccount. For an assessment by a psychologist, Revenue generally expects a GP referral, so ask your GP for a letter first. See prices, insurance and tax relief.

Spreading the cost

You pay in three stages as you go, so you can spread the cost and claim after each stage.
