Who we help
Adults with an existing ADHD diagnosis who are on medication that is working, or close to it, and want steady medication management, in person or by video. Most patients already have a therapist; we coordinate rather than replace. We also treat depression, anxiety, PTSD, OCD, insomnia, and bipolar disorder alongside ADHD, and evaluate adults who suspect ADHD but were never diagnosed.
Coverage, copays, and authorization requirements vary by plan and can change. This page is informational and is not a guarantee of coverage or medical advice. Please verify your benefits directly with UnitedHealthcare.
