Prepare for an ADHD evaluation
Bring examples of your concerns and the records you have. An evaluation is a conversation about your history and needs, with treatment decisions made after assessment.
Nao Medical’s care team can review scheduling and coverage questions. Confirm your exact plan, clinician, age eligibility and appointment type before you book. A carrier name or a benefits estimate does not guarantee payment.
Updated October 7, 2026
Ask whether you are scheduling an adult medication evaluation, a follow-up or the separate child evaluation service. Confirm the clinician and visit format. If you need formal testing, check its scope and cost separately rather than assuming it is part of the visit.
Ask about network status for your exact plan, the deductible, copay or coinsurance, and referral or authorization requirements. Check virtual visit benefits when relevant. Confirm whether intake and follow-up appointments are billed differently.
A prescription, if clinically appropriate, can be subject to separate pharmacy benefits, formulary rules, authorization or cost sharing. Ask your insurer or pharmacy about those rules. Appointment coverage does not guarantee medication coverage or a prescription.
Request current fees for the first visit and ongoing appointments. Ask about payment timing, cancellation charges, record requests and services that are billed separately. Ask for an estimate for your specific appointment.
Let the team know before the next visit. Check whether the clinician remains in network and whether a referral or authorization must be renewed. Discuss follow-up arrangements early rather than assuming an existing plan will continue unchanged.
Write down the date, reference number, service discussed and estimate provided by your insurer. Ask how you will be informed about patient charges and how to raise a billing question. Final claim processing can differ from the initial estimate.
