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
