I see my PNP every couple of months for ADHD and she writes me prescriptions. Occasionally we will do a therapy session. To get reimbursed by my insurance, she has to give a diagnosis. She does not put down ADHD. She puts down "Major Depression, recurrent." I have never seen her for depression, so I think she is putting this down for other reasons. It made me wonder if health insurance won't reimburse her if the diagnosis is ADHD. Could that be? Does anyone here have a prescriber who puts down their diagnosis as ADHD for the insurance company?

Thanks, kikki. What does your doctor put down instead of ADHD? I wonder why insurance doesn't consider ADHD worth reimbursing for?

It is a mystery to me what insurance will reimburse for and what they won't. I have TMJ disorder and I have had to go to the doctor or dentist for that several times. Neither my dental nor medical insurance will reimburse for those visits. Why not? I am in a lot of pain sometimes due to the TMJ; I am not making it up. When insurance won't reimburse for things like ADHD and TMJ, I feel like they are saying to me that these are not real problems. Like I'm making up my pain or dysfunction or something.
