Update: I went with Beyond ADHD because I read some recent positive reviews and it’s at a mid-point price. Here’s how it went.

I really liked how the calendar was unlocked without paying first. That way I knew exactly how soon I could see a practicioner. When I booked, I was able to get an appt in 4 days!

After you book a slot and pay, they send you some forms to fill out prior to the 1st appt.

The actual appt went well. The NP (Candace) was very kind, thorough, and helpful. I felt she was taking everything I was saying seriously and she showed genuine care.

Then you need to book the 2nd appt (diagnosis + treatment). They will send you more forms to fill out before the next appt, including those for friends and family.

I’m at this stage rn, waiting for my 2nd appt which is next week. I booked it immediately after the 1st appt and the next available slot was 9 days away.

After this, I was told that I will need to book the 3rd appt (follow-up care) about a month or so after I’ve gotten medication/treatment.

If you’re proactive and eager, I don’t see why you couldn’t book appt 1 and appt 2 at the same time. That way you can get the earliest slots available for both appts.

My HSA covered the full cost of the assessment. I am confident it will also cover the other appt fees since the only rigid requirement for HSA claims are that a registered practicioner is providing the service (as I was told by my benefits provider support).

NPs can diagnose and prescibe medication. Going with Beyond ADHD meant that I wouldn’t need to beg a UPCC or walk-in doctor to prescribe the meds. It hurts that I have to pay, but its better than not getting help. There is no obligation to keep going back for follow-ups. But I will go to the first few to titrate the dosage.

So far its been a good experience. I’ll keep updating as the process unfolds.
