Specialist in ADHD voor volwassenen: Telehealth & Harvard Pilgrim Edition

What it says on the tin. I am in the US. Looking for a diagnosis and treatment for adult ADHD from someone who takes Harvard Pilgrim insurance.

What state are you in? Even though it’s telehealth, you would need a proper psychiatrist to get official diagnosis and treatment, and most of them are only legally allowed to help people in certain states. The rules are kind of weird, but I’ve had the best luck going to Google and searching for “statename ADHD telehealth”. But there’s a good chance you won’t find people who take your insurance that way, so the other option is to go to your insurance companies website and try that way.

Not sure if this is helpful, but I’m in MA and my spouse ended up getting diagnosed by one person (via Telehealth) who exclusively does adult ADHD diagnosis and then getting meds through a different person (largely, but not exclusively Telehealth) and talk therapy through a third person (Telehealth). I’m happy to share the name of the evaluator if you memail me and you could check to see if they take your insurance, though she also has a pretty long waitlist right now.
