Question by rezrez12: I think I have ADHD. What will my insurance cover? What should I expect to pay for the initial visit?
My insurance covers Mental Health Visits and Pays $ 25 up to 25 times per year. I read somewhere that ADHD does not fall under mental health and is a mental illness. How does that get billed to the insurance company? I just don’t want to get a huge unexpected bill? I have Blue cross and live in CA.

Thanks!
I meant medical illness, not mental illness. Thanks!
