Eustatis

They are expensive and feel like a mill - but I got tested and then my primary doc was willing to take over prescribing my medication

Hopping on to add, nearly all BCBS policies will not cover the cost of the ADHD testing at Eustasis. (I worked there for a short period in patient accounts and saw this first hand.)

Ask to do the ADHD testing as self-pay, it’ll be $100. If it’s submitted to insurance and denied as patient responsibility, it’ll be over $200.

I'm fairly confident my bougie policy will pay for the testing, even with BCBS, but I don't think it'll save that much when it comes to self-pay ($50 seems to be the estimate I'm coming up with) and it will count as a visit (policy allows a certain number of visits a year before co-insurance kicks in).

Family member doesn't want to go to Eustasis anyways. They've heard that it's got a bunch of clinicians that are Jesus-y, and we're definitely not Jesus-y here.

They aren't Jesusy, the only god the Jains allow there are the Jains.

Money! They Jains don’t even care about Jains unless money is involved.

The inpatient at Cox north is actually pretty good. Worked there for almost ten years and they had a few docs I didn’t agree with but when I left they had Dr taber and he is amazing. Kind of a hard ass and won’t give meds out if your on “illegal” drugs but the meds work as long as you follow thru

That's because they are a pill mill.

Avoid Eustasis like the plague. I'm a former patient who also knows former employees. What we saw as patient was only the tip of the iceburg of that pill mill's bad practices.

My daughter had to go to Eustasis for her testing as well.

I’m also not entirely sure what kind of adhd testing there is, but Eustasis gives a drug test and does the “click” test.
