Registration
How to register
With a referral letter to your first appointment. For diagnostics and treatment at ADHD Medisch Centrum, you need a referral letter from your GP (general practitioner) or medical specialist.
Step by step
Four steps to your assessment.
Choose a step to see what happens, whose turn it is and what you can do yourself.
Step 1 of 4 · Your turn
You discuss your symptoms with your GP
Do you recognise symptoms such as concentration problems, impulsivity or restlessness? Make an appointment with your GP (general practitioner) and discuss what you are experiencing. Still unsure? The self-test can help you get started.
Tip: write down beforehand in which situations your symptoms affect you. That makes the conversation easier.
Step 2 of 4 · Your GP's turn
Your GP refers you to us
If your GP considers a referral appropriate, they will write a referral letter for ADHD Medisch Centrum and send it securely via ZorgDomein. A medical specialist or lead practitioner (regiebehandelaar) can also refer you.
Unfortunately, we cannot process your registration without a referral letter.
Step 3 of 4 · Our turn
We review your registration and contact you
Once we receive it, we check whether your request for help fits what we offer and whether we have enough information. If something is missing, such as information about previous help or medication, we request it from your GP. We then contact you to schedule your first appointment.
Step 4 of 4 · Together with us
The assessment
Beforehand, you fill in the DIVA questionnaire together with someone close to you. We then schedule the parts of the assessment, usually as separate appointments: the DIVA-5 interview, an extensive intake interview with a psychiatric examination, and a joint evaluation.
If the diagnosis is made, your treatment starts straight away, without a new waiting time.

Questions about registering
- Yes. For diagnostics and treatment, you need a referral letter from your GP or medical specialist. This allows your health insurer to reimburse the costs. Without a referral letter, we cannot process your registration.
- Registration always goes through a referral. Your GP or lead practitioner (regiebehandelaar) sends the referral letter to us securely through ZorgDomein, the secure referral system used in Dutch healthcare. As soon as we have received it, we will contact you.
- Yes, in that case you can also come to us for a (re)assessment or treatment. You do need a referral from your GP. Do you only want treatment with us? Then the same waiting time applies as after a first referral.
- No, we focus specifically on adults aged 18 and over. For children and young people, we recommend organisations that specialise in youth care.
- Our appointments and questionnaires are in Dutch or English. You can come to us if you have a good command of one of these languages.
- If your health insurer has a contract with us, you only pay your deductible (eigen risico), insofar as it has not yet been used. Without a contract, you also pay a personal contribution of €250. Please note: a payment agreement, under which we submit claims directly to your health insurer, is not a contract. In that case, too, you pay the one-off personal contribution.
- No. If the diagnosis is made, your treatment starts straight away.
- You can ask to be placed on a reserve list. If an appointment is cancelled, you may be able to come in sooner.
- Cancel your appointment at least 24 hours in advance. If you do not, we charge €100 for the lost time and costs. If you repeatedly miss appointments, the treatment may be ended.
