1. First interview  with AOA Clinic GP

2. Second interview with AOA Clinic GP for preliminary ADHD assessment with you
and someone who can speak about your childhood (required)

3. One interview with Psychiatrist:

In circumstances, where the AOA GP is able to apply for a permit to prescribe the medication as instructed by the psychiatrist, this will be the preferred option (GP fees will be communicated). Otherwise, the below
option will apply:

• The medication will be prescribed by the psychiatrist Dr. Akuh Adaji following the assessment.
• Monitoring and adjusting of the medication will be done by the AOA Clinic GP. The cost of these reviews will be outlined after the care plan has been formulated. 
• The AOA Clinic GP is able to adjust the medication; however, they are unable to provide prescriptions as they do not hold a prescribing permit. 
• If the medication needs to be changed, adjusted or a new prescription is needed, a case conference will be organised with the AOA clinic GP, the psychiatrist and the care coordinator.
  •  *****Please note - at times, you may run out of medication before a case conference is available – this only occurs in the early stages when trying to figure out which medication regime works. 
  • *****Pharmacies are unable to refill prescriptions early.
• Your eligibility for case conferences is dependent on attending the review appointments with the AOA Clinic GP.   
• Dr. Akuh Adaji will bulk bill the case conference, which ensures the process is kept as affordable for you as possible, whilst still being able to consult with a psychiatrist in a relatively short time frame. A $77.78 out of pocket fee applies for the GP’s & care coordinators attendance at case conferences.
• Once you are stable and happy with the medication that works for you, we will transfer you to your local GP who can apply for a permit to take over the prescribing. Dr. Adaji will provide you with some repeats to ensure there is adequate time for this.
• As part of the treatment plan, Dr. Adaji will refer patients to Occupational therapist or ADHD coaches at Care Plan 365 https://www.cp365.health/find-provider . This is a recommendation Dr Adaji makes as part of the ADHD care plan to assist with meeting your goals.
• It is the patient's responsibility to ensure they are eligible for Medicare item numbers, if when processing the billing Medicare deems you in eligible - the next appropriate item number will be used. This means the rebate may differ from what it quoted.

Advantages of AOA Clinic: 

• Access to GPs with expertise in ADHD.
• Access to a psychiatrist's expertise via case conferences.
• Increased access to specialist input at a lower cost via case conferences.
• A smoother transition to your local GP when you are stable on the medication.
