A little into about me. I’m in my mid-forties, I live in Ohio, USA, and am on Medicaid. I suspect I have either ADD or ADHD but I can’t get diagnostic testing covered by Medicaid. What can I do to get testing or treatment? There are lots of “in-network” providers, but every time I get the focus to try and make an appointment no one answers their phones, or they’re not taking new patients, or they’re not in network after all. I’m so so so tired
I think my next step (if taking to my PCP doesn’t do anything) would be to find a therapist and get a referral to a psychiatrist.
The hoops we have to jump through, and the many steps (that feel like walking through waist deep clay) just make me despair. It’s so much work just to get ahold of a human and make an appointment
Got any holiday plans? You can do it in another country easily and cheaply (and quickly).
