Referring a patient to Proco

Proco is opening a private, online adult ADHD assessment service in Ireland. This page explains who it is for, what your patient can expect, what we will send you, and how we will work with you on any medication.

Who the service is for

Adults aged 18 and over who think they may have ADHD and want a private assessment, carried out online from anywhere in Ireland. Every assessment will be carried out by a qualified clinical psychologist, using recognised diagnostic criteria and standardised measures, with input from someone who knew the patient as a child where possible.

It is not an emergency or crisis service. Patients at immediate risk should be directed to local mental health services, 112 or 999, or Samaritans on 116 123.

Do patients need a referral?

No. Patients can come to us directly. A referral letter from you is still welcome, and it helps in two ways:

  • Better assessments. Your letter gives the clinician the patient's medical history, current medicines and any past mental health care.
  • Tax relief. Revenue's guidance says relief on fees for a psychologist's services generally applies where the patient was referred by a medical practitioner. Patients who plan to claim will usually need your letter. Revenue's guidance

What a referral letter could include

  • Why the patient is seeking an assessment.
  • Relevant physical and mental health history, including any past diagnoses.
  • Current medicines.
  • Any known risk factors, including cardiovascular history, which matters if medication is considered later.

What you will receive

With the patient's consent, we will send you:

  • An outcome letter summarising the clinician's conclusion and recommendations.
  • A copy of the full written report, if the patient agrees.
  • Clear next steps, including whether a medication review is recommended.

We will not ask you to do anything without first agreeing it with you.

Medication and shared care

Medication care is a later phase of our service and will be led by a consultant psychiatrist. When it opens:

  • The psychiatrist will start and adjust any medication, with monthly reviews in the early months.
  • We will only ask you to take on repeat prescribing once the patient is stable, and only if you agree. We will never assume shared care.
  • You will receive a letter after each change of treatment.

Prices for your patients

An adult ADHD assessment will cost €1,195 in total, paid in three stages: €95 for the intake consultation, €650 for the clinical assessment, and €450 for the outcome, feedback session and written report. See the full list of services and prices, and our guide to insurance and tax relief.
