    • See details below

There is no obligation whatsoever for you to have any of these treatment recommendations, and I will respect your decision either way as I am mindful that these will incur additional substantial costs, but I include them in my report if I believe that they would help you achieve the best treatment outcome

You must check in advance with your NHS GP that they would be prepared to enter into a Shared Care Agreement with me after diagnosis and ADHD medication titration.
Please do not make an appointment with me for an ADHD assessment until you have provided written proof from your GP that they would be prepared to enter into a shared care agreement with me.

    • The cost of medication is on a private prescription and incurs a separate prescription fee and the cost of medication.

For existing patients of mine who would like to have an ADHD assessment it would be my recommendation that they consider having The Psychiatric Pharmacogenetic Test in advance of their ADHD assessment so that when we discuss the results of their ADHD assessment, we have the results of The Psychiatric Pharmacogenetic Test to use as the ideal precision medicine platform so that the choice of their ADHD medication can be guided by the results of The Psychiatric Pharmacogenetic Test. Ordinarily, the cost of having a detailed ADHD assessment and The Psychiatric Pharmacogenetic Test would be £3500.00, but I am prepared two offer these to my existing patients for £2500.00, which is only £500.00 more than the cost of the ADHD assessment and £1000.00 less than having both and gives me the perfect platform to guide the based treatment options for you based on your genetic blueprint. Details of this test are as follows ThePsychiatricPharmacogeneticsTest. Your report would then be inclusive of the details and results of this test and would form part of your detailed report. You would have this test in advance of your appointment with me so that when we did have our appointment, we would be able to discuss not only the results of your test but also precision medicine planning with respect to your medication. The full fee of £2500.00 would need to be paid in advance to secure this offer to my existing patients.

I do not routinely enter into Shared Care Agreements (SCA) with NHS GPs

  • If you want a SCA with an NHS GP, then you will need to confirm with your GP that they are prepared to do this prior to securing an Assessment Appointment with me.

If you do not have written proof from your NHS GP of an agreement to enter into a SCA, then you will need to self-fund all appointments and the cost of medication on a private prescription

It is important that you read, understand, and agree to these terms before signing and agreeing to them on the New Patient Assessment and Agreement to Dr Kampers' Terms and Conditions Form

If you are unable to self-fund the initial ADHD assessment and follow up appointments as well as the cost of ADHD medication then you need to consider whether seeing me is the right option for you

For Shared Care Agreement with NHS GPs

  • Your NHS GPs will expect to be provided with all the relevant clinical details of your diagnostic assessment including monitoring data.
    • They will want evidence that relevant baseline investigations are performed, documenting height, weight, blood pressure and pulse.
    • They will want to know that any additional relevant investigations have been performed (an ECG of cardiac clearance where indicated). >>They will want to know that your condition is stable and/or predictable.
    • They will want evidence of ADHD medication titration and adequate response to treatment.

Please note the following

  • If your Diagnostic Assessment And Treatment Recommendations Report by me details that there are other recommendations that you may want to consider as part of an effective holistic treatment plan, for example if it is identified that you have a dysfunction of both your Serotoninergic and Dopaminergic systems, I may recommend that you consider having Psychiatric Pharmacogenetic Testing in order to have a precision medicine platform to work from in terms of making decisions regarding your medication.
  • If I think that there is a more significant condition that needs to be treated first then I will include this in my treatment recommendations, for example Ketamine Assisted Therapy for Complex Post Traumatic Stress Disorder
    • See below

There is no obligation whatsoever for you to have any of these treatment recommendations, and I will respect your decision either way as I am mindful that these will incur additional substantial costs, but I include them in my report if I believe that they would help you achieve the best treatment outcome

ADHD Assessments and Insurance Companies

Continuity of care under me as your Consultant Psychiatrist

    • How often you will need to be reviewed by me will be determined by me and will depend on the complexity of your case and associated risk.
    • Generally, once your mental health is stable, then you will be reviewed by every 3 to 4 months
    • If you cancel successive appointments with me, then you will be discharged from my care back to the care of your GP
    • If you cannot afford to see me every 4 months then you cannot remain under my care
    • If you have not seen by me for >6 months or if you have been discharged from my care then you will need to complete a New Patient Assessment form and see me as a General new patient assessment as detailed above
