Focus Partners, Telehealth Platform

Focus Partners is a membership-based telehealth practice specializing exclusively in adult ADHD, operating in Ohio, Michigan, and New York. Founded by clinicians who believed that ADHD deserved the same depth of clinical attention that other chronic conditions receive, the practice is built around a model where evaluation rigor, ongoing relationship, and data-informed medication management take precedence over appointment volume and rapid throughput. The defining feature of the Focus Partners model is its initial evaluation: at 1.5 hours, it is substantially longer than the 20–45-minute intakes common on high-volume ADHD telehealth platforms. This extended session allows the evaluating physician to assess the full clinical picture — developmental history, educational and occupational functioning, comorbid conditions, prior medication trials, and current life context — before arriving at a diagnosis and treatment plan. The practice integrates pharmacogenomic principles into medication management where relevant, which means patients with prior medication failures or unusual responses may receive guidance informed by genetic testing that predicts drug metabolism and receptor sensitivity. The membership model charges $65/month and includes the initial evaluation, ongoing medication management, quarterly telehealth follow-up appointments, and unlimited portal access for messaging and refill requests. The monthly fee does not cover the cost of medications, which are billed through the patient's pharmacy. Focus Partners does not accept insurance, positioning it as a direct-pay specialty service for adults who want more clinical depth than most insurance-covered telehealth options provide. The practice's geographic footprint — Ohio, Michigan, and New York — reflects a deliberate regional focus. Rather than scaling nationally on a platform model, Focus Partners has concentrated its licensed prescriber network in a manageable set of states where it can maintain clinical relationships rather than processing patient volume. Within those states, the practice has partnerships with Capsule pharmacy for free at-home medication delivery in the Chicago and New York City metro areas, reducing friction for ongoing prescription management. Focus Partners does not offer standalone talk therapy, but behavioral coaching and psychoeducation are woven into the clinical relationship, and providers actively coordinate with outside therapists when behavioral intervention is part of the treatment plan. and data-informed medication management take precedence over appointment volume and rapid throughput.
