I simply put "I would like an ADHD screening" on the Other Concerns line of the check-in form for a regular doctor visit. So my Primary Care Provider asked me some questions, and gave me a referral for psychiatry.
Have you already talked to your PCP about it? Because if not, a referral might open some doors for coverage for testing.
Good tip. I've got an appointment later this month, I'll add this when i check in. Thank you
Oh, love the user name btw. I'll be sure not to use the M word
