[quote=Anonymous]We paid out of pocket for the assessment, sent it to my son's regular pediatrician, and she passed it on to the pediatrician in their group (there are five of them) who does a lot of these cases. DS is responding well to basic ADHD meds and doesn't have any comorbidities -- just inattentive ADHD, which is responsive to stimulant meds. If his needs or his treatment were more complex, we would have gone to a psychiatrist. My other son has a host of issues in addition to ADHD (depression, anxiety, etc.) so we pay out of pocket for a specialist. It is very nice for us to have the one kid being treated at the ped's office, besides being in-network they are open every day so I can stop by to pick up his monthly Rx when it is convenient, etc. [/quote]
