Alcohol Abuse Treatment: I Think I Have ADHD. What Will My Insurance Cover? What Should I Expect to Pay for the Initial Visit?

Question by rezrez12: I think I have ADHD. What will my insurance cover? What should I expect to pay for the initial visit?
My insurance covers Mental Health Visits and Pays $ 25 up to 25 times per year. I read somewhere that ADHD does not fall under mental health and is a mental illness. How does that get billed to the insurance company? I just don’t want to get a huge unexpected bill? I have Blue cross and live in CA.

Thanks!
I meant medical illness, not mental illness. Thanks!

You are correct about paying for adults with ADHD. We just went through this with me husband be treated for adult ADHD.
The psychiatrist gave it another diagnoses like anxiety disorder and the insurance has been pay for it every since. The psychiatrist told us up front at the visit that he was going to do this because Adult ADHD is not usually covered.

Billy shares at a speaker meeting of Narcotics Anonymous. My FAVORITE NA tape! Enjoy! 🙂 Make sure to like us on facebook 🙂 We’d love to have ya stop in and see us! www.facebook.com What is the Twelve Step Model? How is it a “treatment for alcoholism” or “alcohol abuse?” From Wikipedia: “A twelve-step program is a set of guiding principles (accepted by members as ‘spiritual principles,’ based on the approved literature) outlining a course of action for recovery from addiction, compulsion, or other behavioral problems.” As should be blatantly obvious, we are in no way affiliated with NA or any other 12 step program. We are just looking to provide hope to those suffering from alcoholism or addiction.) “Addiction treatment” WORKS! There is addiction help out there and “addiction recovery” is possible. If you are battling “drug addiction” there are people who know EXACTLY what it is like! It is important to note there are several ways for one to address his or her “alcohol abuse treatment.” “Substance abuse” is a very serious condition. Many need inpatient stays or counseling. The importance and purpose of this video, and all our other videos, is to show that recovery IS possible and to give hope to those who are struggling with substance abuse issues. Help IS out there! 🙂 You can follow us on twitter too! www.twitter.com Namaste, friends 🙂
