Ugh, I empathize with your struggle! The whole system screwed up...They have some online platforms now that do psychiatry/prescriptions. I myself am skeptical but have a friend who found a provider he sees virtually via talkiatry and it's covered in-network I believe.

While I emphasize with providers not wanting to deal with insurance companies, it alienates whole groups of people like us. I made a post and calculated I had to essentially shell out $1000/mo at least to get the same amount of care I get now. I am not struggling but that’s money I could put elsewhere.

As a person with ADHD, I am not eligible to receive stimulant medication. They do not prescribe it and telepsychiatry is in hot water due to over-diagnosis and prescribing for ADHD. It’s hard out here.

I forgot to ask if you tried calling your insurance for help (they can send a list) or going on Psychology Today to search for providers?
