ADHD FAQs
Does Talkiatry take my insurance?
We're in-network with major insurers, including:
- Aetna
- Blue Cross Blue Shield
- Cigna
- Humana
- Oscar
- United Healthcare
- Optum
- ComPsych
Even if your insurer isn't on the list, we might still accept it. Use our insurance eligibility checker to see if we take your plan.
Can I get an estimate of my visit cost?
The best way to get a detailed estimate of your cost is to contact your insurance company directly, since your cost will depend on the details of your coverage.
For some, it’s just a copay. If you have an unmet deductible, it could be more.
Call the number on your insurance card and ask about your plan’s coverage for outpatient psychiatric services.
Can ADHD be treated virtually?
Absolutely. In most cases, virtual treatment for ADHD is as effective as in-person care. Our goal is to help you find the best treatment option for your needs and there may be some cases where virtual care isn't the right fit. If this is the case, your psychiatrist will be able to recommend other treatment options within your first visit.
Will I see a psychiatrist at every appointment?
Yes. You'll see a psychiatrist for all appointments, from your first visit to any follow-ups. Your psychiatrist will be with you every step of the way.
Does Talkiatry have real doctors?
Yes! Our team is made up of over 300 psychiatrists who represent a broad range of backgrounds and specialties. Psychiatrists are medical doctors that specialize in diagnosing, and treating mental health conditions with medication management and supportive therapy.
Will I need medication?
Depending on your needs, medication may be a part of your treatment plan, paired with supportive therapy from your doctor. You and your psychiatrist will work together to decide the best treatment for you.
Is ADHD medication safe?
Our doctors only prescribe ADHD medication that is FDA-approved and safe. Your psychiatrist will help you navigate your options for medications and answer any questions you have about the benefits and side effects of each medication.
Does Talkiatry prescribe controlled substances?
The short answer is that it depends on your state’s laws. All our psychiatrists (and all psychiatrists in general) are medical doctors. This means that they can prescribe any medications they believe are appropriate for your care. That’s simple.
Where it gets more complicated is with state laws. Certain states require you to have an in-person visit with your doctor before they can prescribe controlled substances. Since we’re a virtual practice, we can’t always meet this requirement.
The most common controlled substances used in psychiatry are benzodiazepines (like Xanax, Ativan, Klonopin, or Valium) and stimulants (like Adderall or Ritalin). In order to be prescribed any of these by a Talkiatry psychiatrist:
- They have to believe these medications are appropriate for you after they provide an initial evaluation, diagnosis, and treatment plan. (If you’re interested in setting up a visit, start with our online assessment.)
- Your state’s laws need to allow doctors to prescribe controlled substances without an in-person visit.
If you’re currently taking a controlled substance, there’s no guarantee your Talkiatry clinician will agree with your past doctors on your condition or on the treatment plan you’re currently on. As medical practitioners, our doctors must provide their own examinations to determine what they recommend for you.
I don't know if I need medication?
That's okay! In the first visit, your psychiatrist will ask you questions about your personal history, medical history, and symptoms to determine the best treatment for your needs. For people diagnosed with a form of anxiety, treatment typically includes medication management and supportive therapy.
How does Talkiatry handle privacy?
We take our responsibility to safeguard our patients' privacy incredibly seriously. This commitment applies throughout each patient's journey at Talkiatry and after they leave our practice.
